excellent reference

This book presents the period between the fall of the New Kingdom to the end of the 25th Dynasty, from the 11th to the 4th century BCE. Providing great details on this little-known time period, the author uses the small amount of evidence to explain and describe the numerous puzzles of the era. Political, economical and cultural aspects are covered. The last chapter deals with recent Polish archaeological work in Egypt up to the Byzantine period. Well illustrated in black and white, and well translated by David Lorton, this is an excellent book covering much information. A very useful book, which should be recommended reading for everyone.
