Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A compelling account of the civilization of ancient Egypt that provides a picture, both detailed and panoramic, of every aspect of life in the Nile Valley-Egyptians' attitude to their gods and the afterlife; their contribution to literature, science and art--from earliest times to the conquest by Alexander the Great.

Synopsis:

One of the foremost archaeologists and historians of ancient Egypt, Montet brilliantly details the Egyptian civilization by immersing the reader in every aspect of life in the Nile Valley, from earliest times until the conquest by Alexander the Great: the climate, the flora and fauna, the arts and crafts, the attitudes to their gods and the afterlife, Egyptian contributions to literature, science and art, and the symbolic Nile.

Synopsis:

This is an account of the civilization of ancient Egypt from earliest times to the conquest by Alexander the Great. It examines all aspects of ancient Egyptian life and history and looks at Egypt through the eyes of the ancients and in the light of recent research.
