The ancient world comes to life in the first volume in a two book series on the history of Egypt, spanning the first farmers to the construction of the pyramids. Famed archaeologist John Romer draws on a lifetime of research to tell one history's greatest stories; how, over more than a thousand years, a society of farmers created a rich, vivid world where one of the most astounding of all human-made landmarks, the Great Pyramid, was built. Immersing the reader in the Egypt of the past, Romer examines and challenges the long-held theories about what archaeological finds mean and what stories they tell about how the Egyptians lived. More than just an account of one of the most fascinating periods of history, this engrossing book asks readers to take a step back and question what they've learned about Egypt in the past. Fans of Stacy Schiff's Cleopatra and history buffs will be captivated by this re-telling of Egyptian history, written by one of the top Egyptologists in the world.

Excerpt from History of Egypt, Vol. 3 of 3: From the Earliest Accounts of That Country, Till the Expulsion of the French From Alexandria in the Year 1801 The difi'erence between the seemingly opo posito situations, which have been as signed to Soliman, is not in reality so vast as a slight consideration might lead us to suppose. In the revolutionary movements of that age and country, sovereign princes were scarcely estab lished by conquest, when newly created powers overthrew them and the gene ral of successful warriors, was sometimes only raised to a throne, to be instantly cast down by a triumphant adventurer. Where there was no claim by inherit ance, and where family possession had created no preference in the sentiments of nations, the supreme authority was fleeting in its nature; and there was little ceremony in bestowing the sceptre, or divesting princes of the regal power.

Excerpt from A History of Egypt, Vol. 3: From the 19th to the 30th Dynasties The long delay in the issuing of this volume must be excused, in view of the great mass of fresh discoveries that have been on my hands: the researches in the early dynasties have not only occupied much time, but they have necessitated such changes in the revision of what has been already published of this History, that no time could be given to the present volume until two years ago. Moreover, the period here dealt with has such a large mass of details in it, and so great a quantity of references, that it has been a long work to place them in shape. Over 200 officials in one single reign imply some weeks of research before a final list of their monuments can be made. In another way much time has been required, in order to get rid of bad references. The monuments of this age have been so often published, that many of the copies are quite worthless when compared with others; and every copy that did not give something that was unstated elsewhere has been omitted here, so as to save the student's time, and direct him to the best sources at once. There is, I believe, no other country of which there is a complete index to every historical monument that is known, with a translation or abstract of every historical text. In some of the translations here given an attempt has been made to show the idiom so far as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The discovery of ancient Egypt and the development of Egyptology are momentous events in intellectual and cultural history. The history of Egyptology is the story of the people, famous and obscure, who constructed the picture of ancient Egypt that we have today, recovered the Egyptian past while inventing it anew, and made a lost civilization comprehensible to generations of enchanted readers and viewers thousands of years later.
Excerpt from A History of Egypt, Vol. 3: From the 19th to the 30th Dynasties For a student it is better to be able to appreciate the character of a language, rather than to transpose the ideas into the expression of a different civilisation. So long as the sense could be grasped, the words have been left to tell their own tale. The ruggedness and strange English is therefore intentional and I have to thank Dr. Walker for looking over the texts.
