In The Social and Cultural Order of Ancient Egypt, Steen Bergendorff argues that ancient Egyptian culture can only be understood in relation to its reproductive condition and that ancient Egypt must be seen as part of a larger regional trade network including the Levant and Mesopotamia in the west and Nubia and Africa to the south.

From the Narmer palette to funerary preparations to pyramids, Steen Bergendorff draws on anthropological insights to provide new interpretations of accepted truths about Ancient Egypt. Bergendorff traces societal reproductive patterns in Ancient Egypt and the regional trade network that stretched from the Levant and Mesopotamia in the west and Nubia and Africa to the south in order to illustrate Ancient Egyptian culture anew. This book is recommended for students and scholars of archaeology, anthropology, Egyptology, and history.

Steen Bergendorff is associate professor emeritus in the Department of Social Science and Business at Roskilde University.
