The remarkable archaeology of pharaonic Egypt continues to captivate countless people worldwide but evidence for Egypt\x27s prehistoric or Stone Age past has been relatively neglected. This is perhaps understandable, as the archaeology of Stone Age Egypt often seems crude in comparison, and the number of works published on the subject is diminutive compared to those dealing with the revered ancient civilization that emerged in the Nile Valley some five thousand years ago. However, although less spectacular, the numerous remnants of prehistoric life found throughout Egypt represent an important chapter in the story of humanity\x27s distant past. They also cast compelling light on the shadowy Stone Age peoples who lived in the Nile Valley and surrounding deserts, long before the mighty monuments of the pharaohs ever existed. This book examines the fascinating archaeology of stone Age Egypt, from its very beginnings, when early members of the human species arrived in Egypt from sub\-Saharan Africa, to its end, when the impressive Naqada Culture emerged, setting in motion the processes that led to the formation of one of the world\x27s greatest ancient civilizations.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Though less well-known and documented than the spectacular monuments of the Pharaohs, relics of prehistoric settlement, burials, tool-making, rock art, farming and warfare can be found throughout Egypt. Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, this study traces the development of human culture on the Nile from the arrival of the first hominids from Sub-Saharan Africa around 700,000 years ago to the Neolithic Naqada Culture, from which the first dynasties emerged.
