The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt (Hardcover)

Intended for the nonspecialist as well as the specialist, this multi-volume encyclopaedia is a wide-ranging, authoritative reference on ancient Egypt, covering the period from the first known settlements in the Nile Delta before 5,000 BC to the end of the Pharaoh's kingdoms under Greece and Rome. In over 600 articles, many of them illustrated, noted authorities present all aspects of this fascinating civilization - its political and social history, its art, architecture, language, and literature, its religion and mythology, its science and medicine, and a host of other topics. Egypt's relationship with contemporaneous cultures is discussed, as is its influence throughout history until today. Recent archaeological evidence and advances in scholarship have raised new questions about ancient Egypt, and have overturned some long-standing assumptions; the Encyclopaedia brings together these developments and the questions still to be answered, in clearly written, well-balanced articles. The result is the most comprehensive reference work on this spectacular 5,000 year civilization.
