Ancient Egypt A Captivating Guide to Egyptian History, Ancient Pyramids, Temples, Egyptian Mythology, and Pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, By Matt Clayton (Captivating History)
Kindle Edition (139 Pages)
This is a concise historical analysts of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization. The exceptionally well written narrative provides an overview of Egyptian history while focusing on major elements of Egyptian Civilization, such as, the social and cultural structure and development, ideas regarding kingship and the pharaonic culture, Egyptians religious beliefs and mythology, funerary beliefs and practices, mummification, and the constitution of pyramids, tombs, and temples. The narrative is supplemented with numerous contemporary accounts and translated passages hieroglyphic writings on papyrus, stone monuments, structures, and other stone surfaces.
The Ancient Egyptian Empire existed for 3,000 years. Like many sovereign kingdoms, it emerged from the remnants that survived the clashes of diverse forces that fought to control fragmented territories, and developed into a nation that transformed North Africa and the surrounding world. Ancient Egypt gradually grew into a cultural epicenter, in which science and magic existed completely interconnected. The heights of human achievement in those golden ages are comparable to those of Ancient Greek and Roman societies at their peaks. Numerous texts that have been discovered that help us understand how the king, priests, and ordinary people lived and what they believed. The Egyptian people created an incredible civilization. Their generals fought numerous battles and their priests honored a pantheon of nearly 1,000 gods. Their kings directed the constitution of monumental architectural wonders like the pyramids and a vast range of palaces, temples, arcane tombs, as well as great cities, towns, and villages. These accomplishments occurred over vast periods of time, long before Assyrian, Persians, Greek, and Roman civilizations emerged and subsequently invaded Egypt There are the three major eras in the timeline of Ancient Egypt: the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. The the iconic Pyramids and the Great Spinix that existed millennia were built during the Old Kingdom, during the Third Millennium B.C.E., a time of cultural awakening and colossal construction. The Middle Kingdom was a Egyptian "Golden Age", a period of national mummiffication and renewal of cultural achievement. The New Kingdom, during the late Bronze Age, was an era of aggressive expansion and cultural advancement.The Ancient Egyptians conceived a concept of Kingship that existed successfully for 3000 years. They developed one of the worlds first written languages (alongside Mesopotamia), invented papyrus centuries before the Chinese made paper, and originated the basic calendar structure still in use today. The Ancient Egyptians also formulated early forms of cosmetics, including eye makeup, and breath mints. One of the most fascinating and sophisticated civilizations in the known history, the Ancient Egyptians are remembered for their gods, pyramids, pharaohs, mummification, hieroglyphs, agriculture and much more.This book chronicles the intriguing stories behind the grandeur of Ancient Egyptian Civilization.
This book was professionally researched from numerous primary and secondary sources, written, and published by Captivating History. This publishing house has produced an extensive collection of thoroughly researched, concise, informative, and well written historical texts purposefully designed to be read in one to two hours. This historical collection is focused on chronicling the lives of important historical persons, key events, nations, and peoples. I have read a number of their offerings and found each volume well written, researched, informative and presented with an unbiased perspective.
This book provides an excellent, straight forward account that is easy to read and understand. It was obviously thoroughly researched and presented without bias. The narrative was engaging and enjoyable. It explained the complex social, religious, political, and economic issues that impacted the history of Ancient Egypt in a clear and easy to understand manner. I recommend this book to any reader that is at least a little curious about history and enjoys a good, nonfiction story. The narrative is engaging and holds the readers interest from beginning to end.
One of my favorite lines in the book was: From human sacrifice in the First Dynasty to a peasants’ revolt under the Ptolemies, ancient Egypt was a culture in which the relationship between the monarch and his people was based on oppression and terror, not love and admiration. King’s power was absolute, and human life was cheap.
This is a skin fact type presentation but it gave me a lot to learn and research. The details, while not abundant, were interesting along with just a couple pictures included.
This is a quick read that will give you the important ideas, leaving you to...dig up the rest ;D
