The judging panel of the Rhakotis Book Prize are pleased to announce this year’s winner:
Calling oUt to Isis
Solange Ashby’s important new study of the Nubian inscriptions in the Temple at Philae sets a new paradigm for the study of ancient Egyptian religion. Ashby adds to our understanding of the confusing end days of ‘paganism’, but for many readers what will be most exciting is the opening to an entire new region of the ancient world less well known than it deserves.
A fascinating and brilliant work.
