About This Book

A survey of ancient Egyptian civilization traces religious myths and royal origins, recounting the Osiris–Isis–Horus cycle and the emergence of early cities and kings. It follows monumental achievements and dynastic developments, describing pyramid building, the Hyksos interlude, the reunification under Middle and New Kingdom rulers, and prominent reigns associated with Hatshepsut, Thothmes, Amenhotep, and Rameses. Alongside political narrative, chapters examine temple architecture, tombs, funerary beliefs, daily and artistic life, and contacts with foreign powers, illustrated by translations and archaeological observations. Appendices provide a dynastic table and an account of hieroglyph decipherment to orient readers to chronology and sources.
