With spectacular monuments such as the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and a view of the afterlife that produced thousands of mummies, relics, and myths, ancient Egypt has fascinated everyone from Napoleon Bonaparte to schoolchildren around the world.

The book explains the intricacies of the culture s religious beliefs; examines ancient Egypt s art, relics, temples, monuments, and language; and follows the rhythm of an agricultural society.

The History of Ancient Egypt explores how archaeologists have uncovered various aspects of this unique society. Comprehensive, clear, concise and painstakingly researched, it makes the ideal companion to major histories and other media, a quick and easy reference for experts and enthusiasts alike.
