Ancient Egypt's temples and tombs encompass images of exotic
animals, birds, and plants that are no longer found in the country
today, while the fossils of dinosaurs and ancient whales reveal an
extraordinary legacy from prehistoric times. Egypt's environment
has changed dramatically over millennia, and the species that have
survived have made their homes in diverse terrain: deserts and
mountains, the Nile Valley and sea coasts, temple ruins, and even
city skies and streets.Today, Egypt's vibrant habitats host amazing
cat, canine, and bird species, exotic residents like crocodiles and
bats, numerous reptiles, butterflies, and insects, and domesticated
animals like the camel. Tracing the history of Egypt's extinct
species reveals an unusual timeline of geological transformations
and climate change. The natural history of Egypt is often
overlooked, yet invaluable to understanding Egyptology, as well as
the country's future as the environment continues to drastically
change.This colorful book combines the artwork and text of four of
the AUC Press Nature Foldouts: Egypt's Flora & Fauna, Birds of
the Nile Valley, Ancient Egypt's Wildlife, and Egypt's Prehistoric
Fauna.Including striking full-color illustrations, photographs,
diagrams and maps, and information from leading scientific experts,
this book is a great introduction to Egypt's unique natural
history.
