DescriptionNewsweek | 1971 | Pdf | Eng | 172 pages | ISBN10 0276000161 | 29.2 MB The Pyramids and Sphinx vividly traces the epic course of Egyptian civilization, from the first primitive settlements along the Nile to the triumphant era of the Old Kingdom pyramid builders. It scans the chaos of political rivalries between dynasties and focuses on the compelling cultural achievements of the glorious Eighteenth Dynasty. The Pyramids and Sphinx also describes the impact of successive foreign conquests and native evolutions on Egypt as it passed through its Greek, Roman, Coptic, and Arab periods. Here finally is a succinct review of the equally fascinating stories of the archaeologists—from Napoleon's time to the present—who came to unravel the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Supplementing the narrative are some 140 illustrations—nearly one half in full color. Sharing Widget |
