Reviews

[Patrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not really what I was looking for. Written more for experts in the field themselves and is heavily concerned with theories from different archeologists.

[A.L. Sirois · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't really finish this. Like many books I read on ancient Egypt, this one serves as a reference work; and as I'm only concerned with the Third Dynasty (and the history leading up to it), that leaves a substantial chunk of the book that is of no interest to me. Therefore I see no reason to plow through the rest. This is a serviceable work, decently written, nothing terribly special and not as informative as I'd hoped--but there are things n it that will be of use at some point in my writing.
