    Revolutions of Civilization-William Matthew Flinders Petrie
    2026/11/07
    Revolutions of Civilization by William Matthew Flinders Petrie.

    British archaeologist & Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie, discusses the history of civilization in Egypt, Greece, Rome & medieval Europe & correlates contemporary events in different countries. A measure of the quality of civilisation is proposed by a comparison of artisan skill and effort judged in art, sculpture, and architecture between the timelines of radically different cultures. A special focus on Egypt presents evidence in a series of phases of art skill, rather than the leadership of a dynasty.

    Featured on Religion of Ancient Egypt.
