Description
A picture-packed guide to the wonders and riches of the land of the pharaohs.
Travel back in time with this picture-led guide and explore the magnificent monuments and fabulous tombs of ancient Egypt. This book takes you through the history of one of the world's most extraordinary civilizations. You will venture inside pyramids and gaze upon the faces of mummies, come face-to-face with pharaohs such as Rameses the Great and Tutankhamun, and sail down the Nile to the fabulous cities of Memphis and Thebes.
Eyewitness Ancient Egypt brings the rich and powerful Egyptian kingdoms back to life in all their glory. This museum in a book uses striking full-colour photographs and illustrations of awe-inspiring tombs, crumbling papyruses, cryptic hieroglyphics, glittering jewellery, and much more, along with amazing facts, infographics, statistics, and timelines to reveal this civilization's secrets as never before.
Part of DK's best-selling Eyewitness series, which is now getting an exciting makeover, this popular title has been reinvigorated for the next generation of information-seekers and stay-at-home explorers, with a fresh new look, new photographs, updated information, and a new "eyewitness" feature—fascinating first-hand accounts from experts in the field.
