Most Helpful Customer Reviews   13 of 13 people found the following review helpful: The introduction to ancient Egypt, 12 April 2001 By A Customer Many people are fascinated by the history of Egypt, however there are a vast array of titles available. This book stands head and shoulders above the rest as an ideal introduction. It covers all the main aspects of ancient Egypt such as mythology, gods, ceremony and architecture. The text itself is clear and well organised and is supplemented well by diagrams and beautiful photographs. The index is large, enabling easy referencing and the book is organised into well defined areas meaning you can simply dip into it. Overall it is simply a superb introduction to the subject.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
