Ancient Egypt is a beautifully illustrated, easy-to-read book covering the formative era of the Egyptian civilization: the age before the pyramids. Douglas Brewer shows why an awareness of the earliest phase of Egyptian history is crucial to understanding of later Egyptian culture. Beginning with a quick review of the fields of Egyptology and archaeology, Ancient Egypt takes the reader on a compelling survey of Egypt's prehistoric past. The books tours the Nile Valley to explore its impact on all aspects of life, from day-to-day living to regional politics, and introduces the reader to the Nile Valley's earliest inhabitants and the very first "Egyptians".

'...this is a most welcome book, which will fill a gap in the study of early Egypt... The author...has sprinkled his narrative with anecdotes from his own archaoelogical expeditions make the text lively and entertaining, elevating his book from mere description to a highly personal and approachable account. I highly recommend it.' -Ronald Leprohon, Professor of Egyptology, University of Toronto

…this is a most welcome book, which will fill a gap in the study of early Egypt... The author…has sprinkled his narrative with anecdotes from his own archaeological expeditions make the text lively and entertaining, elevating his book from mere description to a highly personal and approachable account. This is a skillful survey which will benefit many different kinds of readers. I highly recommend it.

Ronald J. Leprohon, Professor of Egyptology, University of Toronto

Have you ever wondered who built the pyramids and why? What life was like for the earliest Egyptians? When and how hieroglyphic writing developed? How Egyptian civilization changed through time? What religion the ancient Egyptians practiced? The answers to all these questions lie deep in Egypt’s past.

In Ancient Egypt: Foundations of a Civilization Douglas J.Brewer traces Egypt’s history from the Nile Valley’s earliest inhabitants through to the building of the first pyramids. Beautiful illustrations of architecture, hieroglyphs and artifacts bring the story to life and make this a fascinating account of the formative era of Egyptian civilization.

    The author makes clear where archaeology has its roots and what Egyptology actually means.
    He details the most frequent dating techniques and describes the transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic life... the unusual 'astronomical' site of Nabta Playa with discovered remains of domesticated cattle... the introduction of farming, followed by the unification of Egypt... up to the construction of the Step Pyramid Complex in the 3rd. Dynasty.

    It is a very good account of a fascinating civilization.
