5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to history of ancient Egypt, May 21, 2008

By	Vedran "byzantine historian" (Pula, Croatia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ancient Egypt - Life, Myth, And Art (Hardcover)

As I said in the title, this is really excellent beginning for every would be Egyptologist. It's small format book, with basic informations but lavishly illustrated with dozens of high quality pictures that follows main idea of the article. I highly recommend this book, as all others in Life, Myth, and Art series. (Especially Rome, China and Greece)
