Ägyptisches Kulturgut im phönikischen und punischen Sardinien /
:
From the early part of the first century BC, Egyptian cultural artefacts spread to an increasing degree into Palestine and Syria and (via the Greeks and Phoenicians) into the Greek, Italian and Western Phoenician spheres. Following a presentation of the Near Eastern background and a survey of Sardinian findspots, this work lists the types of monument found on Sardinia (from the 8th c. to the Roman period). In the case of both amulets (gods in human and animal form) and scarabs made if steatite and fayence an attempt is made, using a carefully developed typology (both of material and form) and other statistical criteria, to derive a characterisation of groups of differing origin (Egyptian, Eastern Phoenician, Punic). These objects reflect the expansion and adaptation of polupar Egyptian magic. Even the Egyptian motifs on hard-stone Punic scarabs and precious-metal artefacts have a religious significance, which is very closely related to Egyptian concepts. In the same way the Egyptian elements on Punic steles and portions of architecture underline their sacral character. This study pursues methodological goals using evidence from the whole of Mediterranean area.

The shrine of Eileithyia, Minoan goddess of childbirth and motherhood at the Inatos cave in southern Crete /
:
"This volume is a catalog of the ancient Egyptian imports and Egyptianizing artifacts found in 1962 during the excavation of a cave near Tsoutsouros (ancient Inatos), Crete, Greece. The cave was a sanctuary dedicated to the Minoan and Greek goddess Eileithyia, patron of childbirth and motherhood. The Aegyptiaca of the Minoan-Mycenaean era on Crete were a tangible sign of the political and economic relations between the Aegean rulers and the Egyptian royal court. Certainly some of the Egyptian kings' scarabs that reached Crete from the reign of Amenophis III to the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty are to be explained by official Egyptian-Cretan relations. The statuettes, seals, and vessels are lavishly illustrated with plates of color photographs"--
