This week the Sunday Times Review chose as their “Our Choice Book of the Week” the title “The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt” by Toby Wilkinson saying…
…”The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is a thorough, erudite and enthusiastic gallop through an astonishing 3,000 years. From Narmer to Cleopatra, it is the sheer longevity of Egyptian civilisation that commands awe“.
If you are taking a Nile Cruise in the near future this book will certainly give you a great overview of Ancient Egypt and I think when you visit such sites as The Valley of the Kings and Luxor Temple for instance, you will be able to put the history of these wonders into their historic perspective.
