Ancient Egypt is a fascinating account of rituals, customs, and institutions of this ancient civilization. Packed with stunning photographs of everything from jewels to weapons, mummies to statues, this authoritative guide brings the history of ancient Egypt and it’s people vividly to life. The Egyptians were very practical people. The great pyramids, tombs, and temples that still stand today show how they had mastered many architectural and engineering problems. These monuments were built and decorated by unskilled laborers and skilled craftsmen, working for the Pharaoh.
