A striking companion volume to the Myths and Legends title, exploring the ancient origins of Egyptian society and culture. Gorgeous Collector's Edition which brings to life culture of one of the great founding civilisations. Companion volume to Egyptian Myths and Legends in the same series, this title brings to life the beginnings of human experience, the irrigation of the Nile, the origins of hieroglyphics in demarkation of land and water resources as the first people of North Africa gathered around the Nile to create one of the greatest and most enduring civilisations, one that fascinated the later titans of Antiquity, the Greek and Romans. From these lands come the pyramids, the statues and the great Kings such as Khufu (reigning from 2589 ? 2566 BC), Hatshepsut (14781458 BC), Amenhotep III (reign 13881351 BC), Akhenaten (reign 13511334 BC), Tutankhamun (13321323 BC) and Ramses II (12791213 BC).
