Ancient Egypt has gripped the popular imagination like no other country and the lure of its pyramids and the Nile are a magnet for visitors from all over the world. Here is an overview of its long and complex history which is an invaluable companion for every visitor to its shores. This book spans the entire history of Egypt, from the murkiest origins of prehistory right up to the latest developments - all in a style that is as entertaining as it is well-informed. It makes sense of the major controversies and guides the reader carefully where Egyptologists cannot agree. It also gives an understanding of contemporary Egypt which is now not only an advantage for travellers but a necessity. A full chronology of major events, a cross-referenced historical gazetteer, a list of rulers and presidents, a bibliography, index and historical and contemporary maps all add to its usefulness for the tourist, business traveller or student of Egypt past and present.
