During the Old and Middle Kingdoms, Ancient Egypt led the world in
the construction of fortifications. The oldest was discovered on
Elephantine Island and dates to c.2900 BC. This book investigates
over 2,000 years of Egyptian fortification, including both
fortified cities and military installations. It covers the most
famous sites, including the fortified town of Ayn Asil and the
fortress of Buhen. The text also examines the specific defensive
structures within the fortifications, including gates, walls, and
towers, and looks at both the operation and social history of these
ancient military strongholds. Maps, photographs, and artwork by
Brian Delf recreate this long-lost but legendary era, a treat for
the eye as well as the mind.
