The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt
by Ian Shaw
Description
This comprehensive history traces the development of ancient Egyptian civilization from its earliest prehistoric origins through the country’s incorporation into the Roman Empire. Drawing on archaeological evidence and the work of leading specialists, it examines political change, social structures, religious beliefs, cultural achievements, and everyday life across more than seven millennia. Particular attention is given to the First, Second, and Third Intermediate Periods, presenting these eras as complex periods of transformation rather than mere gaps between dynasties. Richly illustrated and authoritative yet accessible, the volume offers a nuanced portrait of one of the ancient world’s most enduring civilizations.
