Dr. Briar writes more like a story-teller than a history professor. He takes us beyond the grandeur and shows us the "humsn" side of Ancient Egyptian life as well as the politics of archeology. Its captivating. We have 2 of Dr. Briar's lecture series on DVD so I was already a fan and the book did not change that. If I had professors like him in college I'd probably have been a History major.

Lots of good info, but a bit outdated. It gives a lot of information without being overly scholarly. A good read though.
