No other civilization has ever lasted as long as the Egyptian--which covered a span of more than 3,000 years. To Cleopatra, the builders of the Great Pyramid were as distant in time as the builders of Stonehenge are from us today. This book fascinatingly describes and analyzes all the elements of this unparalleled stability.
Yet behind the conservatism and formality of the Pharaoh's court and of Egyptian religion, behind the elaborate tombs with their carefully preserved mummies, there existed delightful gaiety and love of life. Barbara Sewell brilliantly captures the distinctive charm and vitality of this most enduring of civilizations and her book is superbly illustrated with 16 pages of plates in full color and 90 black and white illustrations in the text.
