Description
Completely revised and up to date to reflect the recent developments within the field, this second edition of Barry J. Kemp’s popular text presents a compelling reassessment of what gave ancient Egypt its unique and enduring characteristics.
Ranging across Ancient Egyptian subject matter culture, social and economic experiences, and the mindset of its folks, the book also includes two new chapters exploring the last ten centuries of Ancient Egyptian civilization and who, in ethnic terms, the ancients were.
Fully illustrated, the book draws on both ancient written materials and decades of excavation evidence, reworking our figuring out of this outstanding civilization. Broad ranging yet impressively detailed, Kemp’s work is an indispensable text for all scholars of Ancient Egypt.
