Egypt

W. Vivian Davies

0/5 ( ratings)

This exciting and accessible book makes it clear that new discoveries are continually emerging from a land where one might assume that the treasure trove of archaeological finds have long been exhausted. Plentiful illustrations accompany a text that illuminates old questions and addresses issues such as: Is the Egyptian hieroglyphic system older than the Mesopotamian script? Did Egyptian pharaohs order the robbing of their ancestors' tombs? How is scientific research on ancient mummies contributing to modern medicine?

Language: English

Pages: 222
