Produktinformationen zu „A History of Ancient Egypt (ePub)“

'A stunning, clear-sighted history of ancient Egypt' Sunday Times

The extraordinary history of Ancient Egyptian civilization - from its earliest origins to the creation of its greatest monument - from specialist John Romer

This exceptional book draws on a lifetime of research and thought to recreate the previously untold story of how a civilization which began with handfuls of semi-itinerant fishermen settled, spread and created a rich, vivid, strange civilization that had its first culmination in the pharaoh Khufu building the Great Pyramid.

The book immerses the reader in the fascinating world of archaeological evidence, the process by which this long vanished world has gradually re-emerged and the rapidly changing interpretations which these breathtaking but entirely enigmatic remains have been subjected to. Whether he is writing about the smallest necklace bead or the most elaborate royal tomb, John Romer conveys to the reader a remarkable sense of how to understand a people so like ourselves and yet in so many ways eerily different.

Pressezitat

Scholarly, passionate and exquisitely written ... it is remarkable how this book gives us almost nothing of the ancient Egypt we think we know ... [Romer writes] with all the care and exactitude of a pharanoic engineer with a plumb line ... a stunning, clear-sighted history of ancient Egypt
