## Description

A brilliantly readable, beautifully illustrated general history of ancient Egypt, from the builders of the first pyramids to Cleopatra. 'A sophisticated and complete account' The Times : Books of the Year 'Wilkinson's stirring and clear-sighted account of the ancient world's most enduring civilisation comes as a welcome treat' Sunday Times : Books of the Year This is a story studded with extraordinary achievements and historic moments, from the building of the pyramids and the conquest of Nubia, through Akhenaten's religious revolution, the power and beauty of Nefertiti, the glory of Tutankhamun's burial chamber, and the ruthlessness of Ramesses, to Alexander the Great's invasion and Cleopatra's fatal entanglement with Rome. As the world's first nation-state, the history of Ancient Egypt is above all the story of the attempt to unite a disparate realm and defend it against hostile forces from within and without. Combining grand narrative sweep with detailed knowledge of hieroglyphs and the iconography of power, Toby Wilkinson reveals Ancient Egypt in all its complexity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un imprescindible para conocer el Antiguo Egipto
*by X***O on 24 January 2026*

Uno de los dos mejores libros, junto con la Historia de Oxford, actualmente a la venta para adentrarse en la historia del Egipto faraónico.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect

Wonderful book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An easy and informative read
*by M***R on 5 November 2020*

Having visited Egypt and Jordan in February 2020, I was keen to find a book that would fill in the gaps that our guides didn't cover. I bought a couple of other books that I found a little "lightweight". This book covers the period from 3000B.C to Cleopatra and is written in an enthralling narrative style that is easy to read, unlike a lot of historical texts. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has visited Egypt or is contemplating a visit when conditions allow.
