Why is ancient Egypt the metaphor for worldly lusts, for temptation, sensuality - and mystery - in literature, religion and the imagination of the world?
We read about the biblical 'fleshpots of Egypt.'
We wonder at the ancient Egyptians' obsession with preserving the body (the flesh) for eternity in mummies nested in beautiful humanoid coffins and painted tombs.
We admire the ravishing materiality of Egypt's art, jewellery and sculpture.
We tingle at Egypt's mystery.
