Product details

Pharaohs, Pyramids, Hieroglyphs: A Journey Through Time to Ancient Egypt. The tales of the first explorers of Egypt have long shaped our view of the land along the Nile, whose mysterious world of pharaohs and pyramids continues to fascinate us today. However, clichés obscure how nuanced researchers now understand this early high culture. How did the empire, which becomes tangible around 2900 BC and existed until the turn of the era, come into being? Why did hieroglyphs remain a mystery for so long? And how did people live back then? Historians and authors in this book reveal that it was not slaves, but specialized craftsmen who built the pyramids. They provide unprecedented insights into the daily lives and the religious and scientific beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, and illuminate the political roles of women and pharaohs such as Hatshepsut and Cleopatra. Thus, a multifaceted portrait of one of the greatest civilizations on Earth emerges, bringing us closer to the lives of the ancient Egyptians and tracing their ancient legacy to this day.
