Open publisher page 114 citations

Abstract

This important book treats an old theme - the civilization of ancient Egypt - in an entirely new way: never before has Egyptian culture been presented in the form of an atlas. In fact it is far more than an atlas in the traditional sense of the word: in addition to the many historical and topographical maps, the book contains a substantial text by two distinguished Egyptologists as well as numerous color photographs and drawings illustrating every aspect of this fascinating subject.
