From the Neolithic cave paintings in Wadi Sura - created long
before it was a desert when the region was savannah grassland - to
the Valley of the Kings to the rock-cut temples at Abu Simbel, and
from the vast temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor to the funerary
mask of Tutankhamun and, of course, to the pyramids and the Sphinx,
Ancient Egypt is a hugely colourful guide to the surviving wonders
of Egyptian antiquity. Today the exceptional beauty and scale of
the antiquities is legendary, drawing millions of visitors to
Egypt's monuments each year. Arranged by region, the book takes the
reader along the ancient settlements that were established on the
banks of the River Nile. Through beautiful photographs and expert
captions, the reader gains an understanding of how ancient Egypt
developed its trade links and became such a powerful and wealthy
force across North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. Alongside
the world-famous places, there are also fascinating, lesser-known
entries, such as the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the bent pyramid at
Dahshur and the Statue of Khaefre. Featuring monuments and
obelisks, hieroglyphics and jewelry, funerary masks, tombs and
mausoleums, mummies of cats and statues of falcon-headed gods,
Ancient Egypt includes 160 outstanding photographs and captions.
