The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt
Review from previous edition
The approach combines traditional chronological history with cultural and social historical material to produce a well rounded picture … chapters covering prehistory and the intermediate periods are particularly good, with Seidlmayer on the First Intermediate Period and Bourriau on the Second
Intermediate Period outstanding. Bryan’s chapter on the 18th Dynasty before the Amarna Period is also particularly good.’
Antiquity`If you only want to read one book on Egypt, then read this one … even people who consider themselves as experts on Ancient Egypt will find much to set them thinking: And while such Egyptologists will have a field day, the casual reader will find plenty to arouse their interest, ranging from
the story of the world’s first strike … to the revelation that Scotland Yard possesses a print taken from the hand of a mummy.’
The Northern Echo`splendid, lavishly illustrated book … the only single-volume work to cover 700,000 years of Ancient Egypt from the stone age to Roman conquest … Lucidly edited by Ian Shaw … you get the facts without the dust. An excellent choice for enthusiasts and novices alike; even better if you
can persuade someone to buy for you as a present.’
Roddy Phillips, Aberdeen Press and Journal`From the Stone Age to the Roman occupation in the fourth centry AD, the mighty Egyptian dynasties are brought to life in almost 450 pages … never anything but deeply informative, without losing sight of the essential attribute of any book – readability … both stimulating to the casual
reader or keen-to-learn holiday maker and the serious student alike.’
Peter Leach, North West Evening Mail`brimming with … intriguing facts … also provides a first-rate overview of – le progres Egyptien – from the period when Homo erectus first stalked the land right up to Octavian’s triumphant entry into Egypt in 30 BC.’

I have died and gone to heaven! I am totally enamored at the beauty, the layout and the how detailed the text is written. For anyone who loves Egyptology or Kemetics, this book is a must have. Do not be swayed by the price because this book is worth the investment of your heart, mind and head. Eloquence spoken from thousands of years ago must be heard in order for you to gain perspective about what has been stripped away from us. This book changes everything about what you know. Buy it!

It is a GREAT and complete piece of Art, History and Religious beliefs on the after life more than 3,000 years, just incredible. Is a bit big but I don’t complain since originally is a big book.
