Illustrated with 280 color photos up to 22 x 12 1/2 inches-including sweeping views of extant ruins and beautifully lit museum pieces-this book explores the numerous funerary items, paintings and carvings, sarcophagi, and other items found in the pyramid tombs of the Old Kingdom and the necropolises of Abusir and Saqqara. Monumental sculpture and private burial are also examined, as they found new expressive forms during the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom. Here too are the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, whose military campaigns made Egypt one of the most powerful empires of the Near East, up to the period of Greek and then Roman control of Egypt.
