Summary |
Drawing years of research, the author chronicles the history of Ancient Egypt—from the building of the Great Pyramid through the rise and fall of the Middle Kingdom, a peak of Pharaonic culture and the period when writing first flourished—in an account that shows what modern humans can really learn from the remaining architecture, objects and writing of this civilization. |
