This cultural atlas has 36 maps, but also 500 colorful diagrams, photographs, and explanatory text organized into three major parts. Part one addresses, among other subjects, the geography, study, historical background, kings, art and architecture, and the tomb stelae of Ancient Egypt. Part two's journey down the Nile stops at some 90 sites where significant discoveries have been made or spectacular monuments stand. Part three focuses on the cultural life of ancient Egypt: everyday life, women and men, the army, burial customs, art, and writing. Opening the volume is a chronological grid comparing Egyptian civilization with Syria/Palestine, Mesopotamia/Iran, the Aegean, and Anatolia.
