Description:
Profane Egyptologists is the first in-depth study of the now-global phenomena of Kemeticism. It highlights key players in their own words, utilising extensive interviews, revealing a continuum of beliefs and practices spanning eight years of community growth. Profane Egyptologists will be of value to scholars and students of Egyptology, religion, phenomenology, and ethnography, as well as Kemetics and devotees of Egyptian culture.
Review Quotes:
"Profane Egyptologists is the first monograph-length discussion of the subject, and is the product of a fouryear study conducted as part of Paul Harrison's Ph.D. research. In this, it is a pioneering and welcome contribution on a poorly understood movement......It is an important work, and it is hoped that its pioneering contribution inspires further research into Kemeticism and to the use of ancient Egypt by modern religious communities more broadly."
