About the Book

English summary: Traveling in ancient Egypt has thus far been a mostly neglected topic in Egyptology, although functioning and efficient modes of traffic and transport are fundamental to all forms of state organization. Additionally, mobility plays a large role in the exchange and transfer of innovations and ideas and is an essential part of cultural self-definition. This volume analyzes climate and travel routes, transport, transportation modes and travel organization in order to illuminate Egyptian travel culture and travelers. German description: Das Phanomen des Reisens im Alten Agypten wurde in der agyptologischen Fachliteratur bisher nur unzureichend berucksichtigt. Dabei stellt gerade ein leistungsfahiges Verkehrs- und Transportwesen fur jede Form staatlicher Organisation eine unabdingbare Notwendigkeit dar. Zudem ist Mobilitat ein wesentlicher Faktor im Austausch von Innovationen und Ideen und spielt eine entscheidende Rolle fur die Selbstdefinition einer Kultur. Heidi Kopp erforscht Klima und Verkehrswege, Transport, Fortbewegung und Reiseorganisation, um dem Wesen der agyptischen Reisekultur sowie Grad und Merkmalen der Mobilitat auf den Grund zu gehen. Der wichtigen Frage, wer uberhaupt als Reisender belegt ist und aus welchen Grunden Reisen angetreten wurden, wird ebenso Rechnung getragen. Dabei greift Kopp sowohl auf nicht-literarische als auch auf literarische Texte und archaologische Quellen zuruck und bezieht auch neuere Studien zu Reisen und Mobilitat im europaischen Mittelalter sowie Beispiele aus anderen Kulturkreisen und Zeitraumen mit in die Analyse ein. Es zeigt sich, dass im pharaonischen Agypten eine erstaunlich hoch entwickelte Reisekultur nachzuweisen ist. Kopps innovativer fachubergreifender Ansatz ermoglicht uberraschende Erkenntnisse, die nicht nur von historischer, archaologischer und soziologischer Bedeutung sind, sondern auch Aufschluss uber Kulturgeschichte und Alltagsleben geben. Somit ist der Band ein wertvolles Nachschlagewerk sowohl fur Agyptologen als auch fur alle Agypten-Interessierten, die sich uber die Themenbereiche Reisen, Mobilitat und Verkehrsmittel informieren mochten.
