Books with title The Ancient Egyptians

The first in a series on key historical periods, launching with the Romans and Ancient Egyptians and followed by the Vikings and Ancient Greeks. Each spread explores a different theme or topic specific to Ancient Egyptian culture, such as pharaohs, mummies, pyramids, gods, the Nile, hieroglyphs and a timeline.

Fascination with ancient Egypt hasnt diminished even though 2,000 years have passed since Cleopatras tragic concluding reign.

In this striking volume, readers are transported to ancient Egypt through accessible text and gorgeous artwork. Essential topics such as family life, religion, political structure, and economy, in combination with photographs of actual Egyptian artifacts, make this book a must-read for any young historian.
