(Prestel, $49.95) tries to be a scholarly work, a coffee-table book, and
an exhibition catalogue all at once. There's no denying the expertise of
the contributors, such as historian Manfred Clauss and Egyptologist Jean
Yoyotte, but the text is far too detailed for the average reader. There
are lengthy academic essays on ancient religion that present a mass of
details, but the book does not provide enough of an overview for readers
to understand the big picture. On the coffee-table side, there are pages
upon pages of photos showing sculptures being hoisted out of the sea and
divers looking into the eyes of ancient stone sphinxes, priests, and
queens. Many of the underwater scenes seem staged; divers awkwardly
point to hieroglyphs on inscriptions, but there's no indication in the
caption or text that the glyphs being indicated are of particular
significance.
