About This Book

A comprehensive, illustrated account of the fascinating mythology and ancient history of one of the world's oldest--and longest surviving--civilisations. There was a culture in ancient Egypt that existed for over three millenia and produced monumental buildings that have stood the ravages of time. But it also produced what was, on the whole, a stable state, dependant on the River Nile, around which an elaborate religion developed. In Part One of Ancient Egyptt Myth and History, the mythology of this religion is explained against its historical context while Part two is a concise and informative A-Z of the dynasties, rulers, historic sites and archaeological objects of ancient Egypt, from the beginning of its civilisation to its overturn by the Romans.
