This book covers the prehistory of the Nile Valley from Nubia to
the Mediterranean, during the period from the earliest hominid
settlement, around 700,000 BC, to the beginnings of dynastic Egypt
at the end of the fourth millennium BC. The author explores the
prehistoric foundations pf many of the cultural traditions of
Pharaonic Egypt. The book focuses primarily on the fifteen millennia from 18,000
to 3,000 BC, when different cultures can be identified and the
earliest forms of agriculture traced with some detail. Textile and
ceramic production began at the end of the seventh millennium and
were deployed with great skill and considerable sophistication by
the beginning of the Predynastic Period at around 4,500 BC. By the
Early Dynastic Period much that is considered characteristic of
Ancient Egypt, such as cosmology and burial rites, was already
established tradition. This account of prehistoric Egypt will be welcomed as an outstanding narrative, combining both scholarship and accessibility.
