In Ancient Egypt: State and Society, Alan B. Lloyd attempts to
define, analyse, and evaluate the institutional and ideological
systems which empowered and sustained one of the most successful
civilizations of the ancient world for a period in excess of three
and a half millennia. The volume adopts the premise that all
societies are the product of a continuous dialogue with their
physical context - understood in the broadest sense - and that, in
order to achieve a successful symbiosis with this context, they
develop an interlocking set of systems, defined by historians,
archaeologists, and anthropologists as culture. Culture, therefore,
can be described as the sum total of the methods employed by a
group of human beings to achieve some measure of control over their
environment. Covering the entirety of the civilization, and
featuring a large number of up-to-date translations of original
Egyptian texts, Ancient Egypt focuses on the main aspects of
Egyptian culture which gave the society its particular character,
and endeavours to establish what allowed the Egyptians to maintain
that character for an extraordinary length of time, despite
enduring cultural shock of many different kinds.
