This definitive, multi-volume history of the world’s first known state reveals that much of what we have been taught about Ancient Egypt is the product of narrow-minded visions of the past
Drawing on a lifetime of research, John Romer chronicles the history of Ancient Egypt from the building of the Great Pyramid through the rise and fall of the Middle Kingdom: a peak of Pharaonic culture and the period when writing first flourished. He reveals how the grand narratives of nineteenth and twentieth-century Egyptologists have misled us by portraying a culture of cruel monarchs and chronic war. Instead, based in part on discoveries of the past two decades, this extraordinary account shows what we can really learn from the remaining architecture, objects and writing: a history based on physical reality.

This history of ancient Egypt draws on a lifetime of research to recreate the previously untold story of how a civilisation which began with handfuls of semi-itinerant fishermen settled, spread and created a rich, vivid, strange civilisation that had its first culmination in the pharaoh Khufu building the Great Pyramid.
