- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2024Comprehensive book on Egypt's temples.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2013If you love Egypt and studying the history of this wonderful country, you won't be disappointed by this book. The photographs are expertly done and the writing is knowledgeable yet easy to understand. So many facets to this book...there is a list of the major gods of Egypt and their temples, architectural layout of the temples and many more goodies. I had to wait for several months for this book to come back in and so I was thrilled to see it ready to ship. I now have a copy on my lap with my ipad and I wanted to review this book to help someone else make a good decision. By the way, this book has enough detail to interest me yet it's not overwhelming nor is it at all boring. Quite the opposite. Just a really good solid read with beautiful photographs in color and black and white.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2013Again, the first experience with this book was from my writing teacher's library and I was immediately excited at the description, photos and sketched layouts of the temples, as well as the intensive information regarding their history, etc. I had to have my own copy and again, this is a must for any Egyptian enthusiast's library.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2022This is an informative, if somewhat visually bland compendium of known Egyptian temples, that is worth the look from anyone with an interest in Egyptian history.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017This splendid book has fully covered my expectations. It is a solid piece of well documented information that goes beyond the mere description of the temples across history in Egypt. I strongly recommend it to scholars interested in the religious, archaeological and historical aspects of this amazing civilization.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017Having visited some of the temples in the past, this book provided additional details of the temples that were not mentioned by the tour guide. A good book to read before you visit Egypt.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2017Well done. Very good articles and photos are great.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2013This is a great book! Even better than I expected it would be. Very in depth and easy to read.

CireReviewed in Germany on November 12, 20185.0 out of 5 stars Simply a great book.
If you could put everything interesting about ancient Egypt temple history in one book this is the one. I am sure people could write more about it. Non less this is more than 4000 years history. However for me this book is completely enough.
It never is boring. The text is thoroughly researched it written and for people who just like pictures were are plenty of great images.
Luca888Reviewed in Italy on July 25, 20165.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Ancient Egypt
Very interesting chronicle on how temples evolved and their association with different cities. All these books on Ancient Egypt by Thames & Hudson are great.
