Description
This authoritative survey of early Egyptian archaeology offers a new interpretation of the emergence of farming economies and the dynastic state. David Wengrow explores key themes such as the nature of state power, kingship and the inception of writing, shedding light on prehistoric social development along the Nile through comparison with neighboring regions.
Employing rich empirical data and critically engaging with anthropological theory and the history of archaeological thought, Wengrow's work challenges current theoretical isolation of Egyptian prehistory. By examining this pivotal period in human history, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of social transformation in ancient North-East Africa.
