"Jan Assmann's The Mind of Egypt is cultural history in the manner of
Walter Burkert. Assmann takes us into the interior world of ancient Egypt,
a world that we have been accustomed to approach only from the outside.
Moreover, he shows that, far from being 'prehistoric,' ancient Egypt had its
own fully worked-out and sophisticated philosophy of history. This 1s a
major contribution to the history of historical consciousness."
