A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

One of the fascinating aspects of Egyptology is that the sands and rocky wadis of Egypt keep throwing up new discoveries in archaeology. As recently as 2006, the anouncement of a new royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings created a massive stir of excitement. Exploring Ancient Egypt offers a lucid and exciting account of the pharaonic history and sorts out the complexities of ancient Egyptian religion so the reader can set out on a Nile adventure armed with all the information necessary to really appreciate Egypt's marvellous monuments, paintings and sculptures. The history section is followed by detailed explanations of all the major attractions from Abu Simbel in the south to Tanis in the north, covering periods from the dawn of time to the late Roman era. - Specially commissioned maps match to the text - Plans linked to superb photography keep the reader in the frame, on foot or from the armchair - Aimed at the casual reader, the student of Egyptology and the tourist.
