Description
The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt by Toby Wilkinson Three thousand years of wild drama, bold spectacle, and unforgettable characters come alive in this landmark work by one of the world's most renowned Egyptologists. Wilkinson takes us on a journey through the birth of this great civilization, its lavish pomp and artistic grandeur, and its eventual absorption into the Roman Empire. From the Old Kingdom to the New, Wilkinson reveals the complex society that lay behind the pyramids and pharaohs. He explores the golden age of literature and jewelry in the Middle Kingdom, and the legendary era of the New Kingdom, where pharaohs like Ahmose and Akhenaten left their mark. With a focus on the human emotions that drove these leaders, Wilkinson offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most fascinating civilizations.
