Description

In A History of Egypt, Jason Thompson has written the first one-volume work to encompass all 5,000 years of Egyptian history, highlighting the surprisingly strong connections between the ancient land of the Pharaohs and the up to date-day Arab nation. 

No country’s past can match Egypt’s in antiquity, richness, and variety. On the other hand, it is rarely presented as a comprehensive panorama because scholars generally tend to divide it into distinct eras—prehistoric, pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, medieval Islamic, Ottoman, and up to date—that don’t seem to be continuously studied in terms of one every other. In this daringly ambitious project, drawing on the most current scholarship in addition to his own research, Thompson makes the case that few if every other countries have as many threads of continuity running through their entire historical experience. With its unprecedented scope and vigorous and readable style, A History of Egypt offers students, travelers, and general readers alike an engaging narrative of the extraordinarily long course of human history by the Nile.
