Simple and informative. The artifacts and source documents create a vibrant, complex culture. Fascinating, entertaining, visual.
This account of the lives of the people of ancient Egyptians explores the civilization that endured for some three thousand years, build the massive pyramids, the Sphinx, and colossal temples. An extensive timeline, maps, drawings, and illustrations accompany the comprehensive text.

A glossary of terms, a pronunciation guide, and an extensive bibliography follow the text. Readers with an interest in the
culture of ancient Egypt will find much to appreciate here.

Recommended.
Beautiful book for the coffee table with many color photos and descriptions of daily life based on artifacts from Ancient Egypt.
Recounts Ramses' chilling tale and many other intriguing, true accounts of the lives of the ancient Egyptians.
