The Civilization Of Ancient Egypt
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damage, particularly at the corners and spine edges. Page Condition: Good. Markings: No visible markings. Binding: Intact.
A landmark work in popular Egyptology, The Civilization of Ancient Egypt presents a sweeping and richly illustrated account of one of history's most extraordinary cultures, spanning over three thousand years of continuous civilisation. Paul Johnson chronicles the rise and fall of the pharaonic dynasties, illuminating the political structures, religious beliefs, artistic achievements, and daily life that defined the ancient Egyptian world. Written with Johnson's characteristic authority and accessible prose, the narrative uncovers the ingenuity behind the great monuments — from the pyramids of Giza to the temples of Karnak — while also detailing the sophisticated bureaucratic and agricultural systems that sustained an empire along the Nile. This comprehensive survey remains an essential and compelling introduction to a civilisation that continues to captivate the modern imagination.
