From the omnipotent god to the idea of the nation state, the formulation of most of these archetypes is owed to ancient Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Rice sets out to recover the sense of wonder that the Egyptians themselves felt as they contemplated the world in which they lived, and the way they expressed that wonder in the religion, art and literature. He traces the story of Egyptian civilization from its emergence in the third millennium BC to its transformation following the Macedonian conquest in 30 BC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Rice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041515779X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415157797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.45h x 6.35w x 0.83d","brand":"Michael Rice","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056066752767,"sku":"9780415157797","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1272d661-4a4f-44ed-a2c1-a131a149c118.jpg?v=1685039325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/egypts-legacy-michael-rice-9780415157797","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
