The excellent history book on ancient Egypt, by expert John Romer, reconstructs the incredible history of the ancient Egyptian civilization - from its earliest beginnings to the creation of its greatest monument, the Great Pyramid. Based on a lifetime of research and thought, Romer highlights the unknown history of this civilization that started from a handful of semi-nomadic fishermen and developed into a rich and vibrant society.

The book immerses the reader in the fascinating world of archaeological findings, the process by which this distant world has gradually re-emerged, and the rapid interpretations that these impressive yet mysterious remnants have undergone. From the smallest piece of jewelry to the most elaborate royal tomb, John Romer conveys to the reader a remarkable sense of understanding a people so like ourselves and yet in so many ways eerily different.
