I was wrong."-Tom Holland, The Observer   "Not just the pyramids but the politics; not just war and religion but livestock and labour relations: the whole astonishing story meticulously researched and enthrallingly told."- The Scotsman   "Egypt has for the past four thousand years been much vaunted, much debated . . .

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "Magisterial . . . [A] rich portrait of ancient Egypt's complex evolution over the course of three millenniums."-- Los Angeles Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post * Publishers Weekly In this landmark volume, one of the world's most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic story of this great civilization, from its birth as the first nation-state to its absorption into the Roman Empire. Drawing upon forty years of archaeological research, award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson takes us inside a tribal society with a pre-monetary economy and decadent, divine kings who ruled with all-too-recognizable human emotions. Here are the legendary leaders: Akhenaten, the "heretic king," who with his wife Nefertiti brought about a revolution with a bold new religion; Tutankhamun, whose dazzling tomb would remain hidden for three millennia; and eleven pharaohs called Ramesses, the last of whom presided over the militarism, lawlessness, and corruption that caused a political and societal decline. Filled with new information and unique interpretations, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is a riveting and revelatory work of wild drama, bold spectacle, unforgettable characters, and sweeping history.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

    Superb service, discount, bk very good. Many thanks! Content not much. "Authoritarianism" fav wd, paints Egypt darkly. If modern doing USA (w FDR) or USSR (w Stalin) he'd choose Stalin without documenting Gulag. Fact is tryanies do NOT last long, less than hundred yrs (w internal tensions). Egypt lasted 3,000 years (oldest civ, first nation state, first obsessed w resurection religion & justice--Maat, no mention of first Yoga, first Mystery schools, wisdom for world, love). Wilkinson not rec.
