Ian Shaw umreißt auf der Basis neuester Forschungen die Grundzüge dieser Kultur, ihre Geschichte, ihre Vorstellungen von Identität und Macht, ihre Religion, ihre Schrift, ihr Verhältnis zum Tod - und verachtet dabei keineswegs die modernen Ägyptenmoden von der Nofretete-Verehrung bis zur Kleopatra/Elizabeth-Taylor-Schwärmerei.

The essays and beautiful illustrations portray the emergence and development of the distinctive civilization of the ancient Egyptians covering the period from 700,000 B.C. to A.D. 311. The authors outline the principal sequence of political events, including detailed examinations of the three so-called Intermediate Periods previously regarded as 'dark ages'."--Jacket
