Synopsis

Discover the fascinating details of life under the pharaohs - and their extraordinary legacy - in this comprehensive guide to Egypt's ancient civilization.

Encompassing 3,000 years and 31 Egyptian dynasties, from the time of Narmer to that of Cleopatra, this fresh appraisal of ancient treasures helps you to navigate the political intrigues and cultural achievements of the Ancient Egyptians, from the Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza to the Great Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria.

You will meet pharaohs such as Tutankhamun - whose mummified remains and lavish grave goods reveal so much about the society and its beliefs - as well as influential women such as Hatshepsut and Nefertiti, and warriors including Alexander the Great. Specially commissioned CGI reconstructions use the latest scientific information to recreate the finest tombs, temples, and pyramids.

Ancient Egypt is the perfect book for anyone with an interest in ancient civilizations and Egyptology.

Asylum Speakers by Jaz O’Hara gives a voice to so many of the voiceless – voiceless because they are learning new languages and may not be able to communicate, or they weren’t able to complete the journey and thus their stories must live on through others. This collection of stories provides a portr......more
