Royal Annals Of Ancient Egypt
Author: Wilkinson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113660247X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
First published in 2000. The kings of ancient Egypt’s first five dynasties were responsible for the creation of a unique and enduring civilisation, epitomised by its most impressive monuments, the pyramids. Yet what do we know about the reigns of these kings? Excavations have revealed much, but Egyptology has always been blessed with another rich source of information - the written texts and inscriptions composed by the ancient Egyptians themselves. For the history of the first five dynasties, one particular series of inscriptions has always been of prime importance. This is the collection of inscribed stone fragments known as the Royal An- nals. Now divided between museums in Palermo, Cairo and London, these documents from ancient Egypt have been the focus of countless studies in the century or so since they first came to light, for they seem to record the reigns of Egypt’s early kings on a reign-by-reign, year-by-year basis. The information they contain has been translated, interpreted and re-interpreted by generations of Egyptologists, in the hope of achieving a better understanding of the first great period of ancient Egyptian history. And yet amazingly for such crucial documents -- no complete edition of all seven surviving fragments has ever been published. Royal Annals of Ancient Egypt fills this gap. The text is accompanied by specially commissioned, detailed line-drawings of all the fragments.

Snefru
Author: Beatriz Santillian
Publisher: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc
ISBN: 150817492X
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
If not for Snefru, the first pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, most of the massive pyramids of Egypt would not exist, and no pharaoh would have ever been buried in one. Libya and Nubia would not have become the main sources of the forced labor that built these massive works, and the cattle from those defeated lands wouldn�t have been their sustenance. The story of an Egypt that took what it wanted to build its name is one that Santillian and Thomas graciously bring to young readers.
