Reader Reviews
What was most interesting in this book is the geographical approach. You literally travel through Upper and Lower Egypt, crossing the 'nomes' borders as you go. With it, landscape changes, monuments stand at your side to be visited. If Herodotus could have afforded such a trip, he'd been delighted. In a sense, it provides such a kind of information as is difficult to find elsewhere, at list arranged in this way. Most other books on Ancient Egypt take you through time. They too have a place, because you understand how shifting events shaped the country. But this is a travel book, contemporary, but traversing a 4500 years old landscape. Compared with two other books of similar aim and scope, Cornell's The Roman World and Levi's The Greek World, it stands in between, close to Cornell's which is the best in my opinion.
