The encyclopedia of the Egyptian pharaohs

Description

"The Ancient Egyptians exuded a confidence and a spirit of innovation that continues to influence the world to this day. From their modest beginnings along the Nile River around 3200 BC, the Ancient Egyptians, under pharaonic rule, developed a sophisticated civilization, one that was technically, administratively and culturally the most advanced in the world, spanning more than 3,000 years. Indeed, the Ancient Egyptians paved the way for the Greeks to push the boundaries of man's next frontiers." "The Pharaohs - justifiably - continue to be of great interest to the 21st-century world. This, the first of a fully comprehensive two-volume edition, is an informed and authoritative guide to the known rulers of ancient Egypt from 3300 to 1069 BC. This encyclopedia includes an extensive chronology and some 350 entries, listed alphabetically, on the Pharaohs." "This is a key work of reference on Ancient Egypt, and an indispensable addition to the desks of all Egyptologists and students of world civilizations generally."--Jacket.
