Summary: Excellent work of research. Unforgetable images.
Review: Since my childhood I was fascinated about Egypt and egypcian people. Pharaos, pyramides, Cleopatra, Ramses, etc, all this things interest me a lot. David Silverman edited one of the best books available on the subject. I have some other books about Egypt but no one compares to this.Five stars deserved !!!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is a very interesting and extremely readable book. The writer does not try to cram information, rather he arranges the information as well as the illustrations in a balanced and attractive way. He is also honest about what information is in question and what evidence is considered reliable. There are many colorful illustrations and this makes it all the more interesting to read and get involved. The writer makes a civilisation of long ago come alive today.

Summary: Superb accompaniement to visiting sites of Ancient Egypt
Review: Used this book during a visit to the ancient sites of Egypt and found it superb as an extension of the information provided by local guides. Really helped to bring ancient Egypt alive, even returned with a replica of the blue hippopotamus shown on page 219. Occasional cross reference errors such as Page 115 ref to 'illustration, p126' is actually on p122, and (I think) ref to tomb of Ramesses IV on p114 should read Ramesses VI, having visited the actual tomb in The Valley of the Kings. This however did not detract from the overall superb value including first class details of Egypts real treasures,'The Temple of Karnak' p208-208 and 'Inside the Great Pyramid' p182-183. These diagrams alone make the book worth taking on a visit.
