The Rise And Fall Of Ancient Egypt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233706059)

The Rise and Fall of the Black Land

The pyramids weren't built by slaves, but by a civilization obsessed with the mechanics of the universe.

For three thousand years, the Nile Valley was the laboratory of the human soul. It was a place where kings became gods, where surgeons mapped the human heart, and where a single principle, Ma'at, held the chaos of the desert at bay. But beyond the golden masks and the silent stone sentinels lies a story far more complex, violent, and human than the myths suggest.

In this definitive journey through the "Black Land," you will step past the museum glass and into the living breathing reality of the Pharaohs. From the first unification of the "Two Lands" to the tragic final days of Cleopatra, this is the comprehensive biography of the world's first superpower.

Inside this Book:

• The Warrior-Kings: Follow the chariots of Thutmose III and Ramses the Great as they forge the world's first international empire.
• The Amarna Heresy: Witness the radical revolution of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, the "Sun Kings" who nearly destroyed Egypt from within.
• The Science of Immortality: Go behind the scenes of the mummification workshops and explore the medical papyri that prove the Egyptians were the fathers of modern surgery.
• The Silent Majority: Meet the scribes, the tavern-keepers, and the farmers whose daily labor fueled the greatest building projects in history.
• The Greco-Roman Twilight: Discover how the Library of Alexandria became the intellectual engine of the Mediterranean before the Roman "Breadbasket" claimed the Nile.
