3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Layman
A bit too full of big words. Did not answer my questions either through words or artists' recreations of the PreDynastic world of Egypt before the Pharaohs that we know about officially.

This review is from: The Prehistory of Egypt: From the First Egyptians to the First Pharaohs (Paperback)
...this is what you need. Covering Egypt from the landmass's geological foundation right up to the end of the predynastic era. It's been freshly updated by Ian Shaw to include all of the latest arguments, especially with respect to the Paleolithic and Predynastic periods. Most Egyptologists, amateur and otherwise, will only be interested in the last two or three chapters and, in fairness, each chapter uses the lingo of the relevant field, obfuscating it to the average reader. Nonetheless, I can't think of another book which rivals this one for what it offers.
