An exciting and satisfying presentation

Collaboratively developed and written by Yvonne J. Markowitz, Joyce L. Haynes, and Rita E. Freed, Egypt In The Age Of The Pyramids: Highlights From The Harvard University Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston, Expedition, offers a stunning glimpse at what we know today of life and culture in a cradle of civilization. Vividly illustrated throughout with 150 color photographs and 20 b/w illustrations of Egyptian artifacts, Egypt in the Age of the Pyramids is an amazing tour, exquisitely researched, presenting what Egyptologists know so far of ancient Egypt, as well as logical speculation where the limited evidence of history gives way. An exciting and satisfying presentation, so heavily researched and in-depth as to appeal to Egyptologists of all familiarity levels with the ancient history of a great nation, Egypt In The Age Of The Pyramids is an enthusiastically recommended contribution to personal and academic Egyptology reference collections and reading lists.
