Summary
Journey back in time to explore one the most fascinating and influential periods of ancient history.
In this concise short history, Egyptologist Dr Campbell Price asks us how we know so much about life in ancient Egypt, from the working lives of pyramid builders to the power of the Pharaoh. The book explores the complexities of the hieroglyphic writing system, the meanings behind the ritual of mummification, and the functions of Egyptian art. What was the legacy of famous pharaohs like Tutankhamun and Queen Cleopatra, and how does the colonial nature of archaeology shape our understanding of ancient Egypt.
Brief Histories answers the most popular on ancient Egypt with some new perspectives on this fascinating civilisation.
