Ancient Egypt: Art and Archaeology in The Land of The Pharaohs

Brimming with close-up photographs of stelae, sarcophagi, wall paintings, reliefs, artefacts, and monuments, this volume offers an information-packed overview of the history of ancient Egypt.

At the beginning of the book, the authors – both Egyptology experts – present an invaluable chronology, and introduce readers to the Pharoahs and to the explorers who sought their tombs. Then, from Alexandria to the Monastery of St Catherine, from the Pyramids of Giza to Abu Simbel, the book traces the major archaeological sites, detailing the monuments and major discoveries in each location.
