A beautifully illustrated, scholarly yet accessible history of ancient Egypt: home of pyramids, magic, rituals, mummies, pharoahs, dreams and oracles

Egypt's cultural heritage is vast, and the story of this
ancient civilization has long captured our imagination.
This fully illustrated book provides a treasure chest
of found objects, archaeological sites, hieroglyphic
inscriptions and beautiful tomb art from ancient Egypt.
It introduces the gods and goddesses of Egypt, describes
their characters and identifying features, the myths
surrounding them, and their role in the creation of
society. Quotations from books, hymns, prayers and
hieroglyphic paintings give an authentic picture of
culture and society, and maps, chronologies and artworks
supplement the photographs in this masterly history

Lucia Gahlin is a highly regarded Egyptologist who has led study tours around Egypt and worked with the archaeological team at Tell el-Amarna. She is involved with the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and has lectured for Egyptological societies.
