Having visited Egypt during January, 1998 and travelled through Cairo, Alexandria, El Elamein, Hurghadah to Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbal I have found the book very interesting. Contains excellent photographs, text and explainations.
A great book for anybody proposing a trip to Egypt or having been to Egypt to re-inforce where they have been and what they have seen.
Highly recommended.

*the* atlas to own on Ancient Egypt
14 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
The first part of the book introduces a comprehensive, condensed yet accurate summary of Ancient Egyptian history. The second part presents archaeological details and plans of the main cities of Upper and Lower Egypt, as well as Nubia. The last part offers a description of Ancient Egyptian society, with its scribes, its army, its religion, and its gods. The authors have also included a list of kings and pharaohs. Readers will see how the pyramids were hypothetically built through reconstructions and diagrams. Excellent maps, a glossary and a bibliography are to be found at the end of this wonderfully illustrated book. Highly recommended, it makes a good reference for all.

Great at Any Level!
9 Oct 1998
Format:Hardcover
You can't study history without maps, so you always need an atlas of an area. This one's text, though, is an excellent beginner to intermediate level history, so with the superb maps you may not need another reference book on the subject. Yet, even if you've been reading about ancient Egypt for years you may find some new nuggets here, like the Egyptian rather than Greco-Roman names of the cities, the latest list of pharaohs (Hatshepshut was not the only ruling queen!), articles on the pantheons of different areas, plans of cities and temples -- all kinds of juicy stuff. If you haven't got it, and you're interested, take it home!
