More about the book
Ancient Egypt is a richly illustrated introduction to this extraordinary culture, presenting the art in all it's glory, ranging from the breathtaking pyramids and monumental temples to wallpaintings, magnificently sculpted statues of kings, queens and deities, and royal jewellery of exquisite intricacy. The book covers themes that have long preoccupied the popular imagination, including: the enigmas of the pyramids and the Sphinx; the pharaohs, incarnations of the mighty god Horus, the religious mysteries of the great temples; and the secrets of the hieroglyphs. These major themes, and many more, are interpreted visually through iconography, pattern, motif and symbolism, as well as in terms of their underlying historical and spiritual significance.
