Following the story from the Egyptians prehistoric origins to their conquest by the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, this book resurrects a fascinating society replete with
remarkable historical information. It investigates such subjects as the changing nature of life and death in the Nile valley to some of the earliest masterpieces of art, architecture, and literature in the ancient world. The authors--an international team of experts working at the cutting edge of
their particular fields--outline the principal sequence of political events, including detailed examinations of the three so-called intermediate periods which were previously regarded as dark ages and are only now beginning to be better understood. They also examine cultural and social patterns,
including stylistic developments in art and literature. Addressing the issues surrounding this distinctive culture, vividly relating the rise and fall of ruling dynasties, exploring colorful personalities, and uncovering surprising facts, The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt is certain to enrich our
understanding of this endlessly intriguing civilization.
"Brimming with...intriguing facts...also provides a first-rate overview of le progrs Egyptien--from the period when Homo erectus first stalked the land right up to Octavians triumphant entry into Egypt in 30 BC."--The Times (London) (on the previous edition)
