Description

A striking companion volume to the Myths and Legends title, exploring the ancient origins of Egyptian society and culture. This gorgeous Collector's Edition brings to life the culture of one of the great founding civilisations.

As a companion volume to Egyptian Myths and Legends in the same series, Egyptian Ancient Origins illuminates the beginnings of human experience: the irrigation of the Nile and the origins of hieroglyphics in demarcation of land and water resources. It tells the story of the first people of North Africa gathering around the Nile to create one of the greatest and most enduring civilisations, one that later fascinated the titans of Antiquity, such as the Greeks and Romans.

From these lands come the pyramids, statues, and the great Kings such as Khufu (reigning from 2589–2566 BC), Hatshepsut (1478–1458 BC), Amenhotep III (reign 1388–1351 BC), Akhenaten (reign 1351–1334 BC), Tutankhamun (1332–1323 BC), and Ramses II (1279–1213 BC).

AUTHOR: Jackson is the General Editor of The World's Greatest Myths and Legends series, with titles including Myths of Babylon, Indian Myth, Egyptian Myth, Norse Myth, and Polynesian Island Myth. He is the editor of Myths and Legends and the foreword writer for Celtic Myths and Tales. Other related work includes articles on the Philosophy of Time, Macbeth, A Gothic Chaos, and William Blake's use of mythology in his visionary literature.
