Title : History of Ancient Egypt - Nicolas Grimal - book

Summary :

The incessant revisions carried out by Egyptology - a relatively recent discipline - are sometimes slow to emerge from the circle of specialists. Thus, for the most part, we have a somewhat traditional and conventional vision of the Nile civilization, most often dependent on discoveries and work dating back to the 1950s and 1960s, while decisive advances have taken place since then.

From these old and new findings, an Egyptologist offers here a synthesis that is both lively and scholarly, covering the entire history of the land of the Pharaohs (from prehistory to the conquest of Alexander). Supported by the most reliable chronology to date and enriched by information provided by increasingly abundant archaeological material, it gives a large part - and this is one of its main novelties - to economics, linguistics, anthropology, etc. - alongside more classical approaches such as the narration of events and the evocation of significant figures.

Abundantly illustrated and enriched with numerous Egyptian texts, this work aims to give the honest man of our time, the traveler, the student an in-depth knowledge of the oldest and certainly the most prestigious of the civilizations of the Mediterranean Basin.
