For millennia, whispers of a vanished wonder greater than the pyramids have haunted the sands of Egypt.

Produktbeschreibung
For millennia, whispers of a vanished wonder greater than the pyramids have haunted the sands of Egypt. Ancient writers-Herodotus, Strabo, Diodorus, and Pliny-described an immense labyrinth at Hawara, a complex of thousands of chambers, courts, and colonnades so vast that even the Great Pyramid paled in comparison. Yet today, almost nothing remains: only scattered foundations and faint traces beneath the Fayum's soil. This book follows the enigma across time. It weaves together the voices of antiquity with modern archaeology, tracing how Amenemhat III's grand mortuary complex became both a symbol of Egyptian kingship and a riddle of disappearance. It explores the labyrinth's role in statecraft, religion, and the cult of Sobek, examines the vast irrigation projects that transformed the Fayum into Egypt's breadbasket, and asks how such a celebrated marvel could vanish so completely from memory. Equal parts history, archaeology, and mystery, The Lost Labyrinth of Egypt is a journey into absence as much as presence. It reveals a forgotten wonder once hailed above the pyramids, a monument that still unsettles our sense of what was possible in the ancient world. To enter its story is to walk the vanished corridors of time itself-where testimony, ruin, and imagination meet.
