Surveying more than three thousand years of Egyptian civilization,
Egypt and the Egyptians offers a comprehensive introduction to this
most rich and complex of early societies. From high politics to the
concerns of everyday Egyptians, the book explores every aspect of
Egyptian culture and society, including religion, language, art,
architecture, cities, and mummification. Archaeological and
documentary sources are combined to give the reader a unique and
expansive view of a remarkable ancient culture. Fully revised and
updated, this new edition looks more closely at the role of women
in Egypt, delves deeper into the Egyptian Neolithic and Egypt's
transition to an agricultural society, and includes many new
illustrations. Written for students and the general reader, and
including an extensive bibliography, a glossary, a dynastic
chronology and suggestions for further reading, this richly
illustrated book is an essential resource for anybody wishing to
explore the society and civilization of ancient Egypt.
