Opis

Robert Morkot paints a vivid picture of the origins, history and culture of the ancient Egyptians with chapters on dynasties, empires, society, daily life, religion, art and architecture, languages and literature. The book also raises and addresses a number of important interprative questions, such as the issues of race and colour of the Egyptians, Egypt's relationship with Africa and the debate about Egypt's 'legacy'. Enjoyable and accessible, this is the ideal introduction to the Egyptians for both students and the interested general reader.
