The Egyptian Kingdoms (The Making of the Past) Hardcover book by A. Rosalie David. The opening chapter gives a lucid summary of the 4000-year history of ancient Egypt from predynastic times to the end of the Ptolemaic period (30 BC). Two chapters follow on the rediscovery of this almost forgotten civilization by the scholars among Napoleon's invasion forces, by later travelers and explorers, and finally by the professional scholars and archaeologists of today. Later chapters examine the civilization of ancient Egypt in greater depth and explain such fascinating topics as the conventions of representation in art, the role of the pharaoh in religion, how the pyramids were built and how a corpse was mummified to last for eternity. Four visual stories portray in words and pictures the evolution of the pyramid, Akhenaten's royal city of Tell el-Amarna, the form and function of a temple and the famous story of Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922.
