Illustrated History of Ancient Egypt and the Near East

Archaeological discoveries have confirmed biblical and other early accounts of the central role that ancient Egypt and the Near East played in the rise of civilization. In this colorfully-illustrated reference for young adult readers, the history and practices of the region are traced from Egypt’s Old Kingdom (c. 2650-2150 BCE) through the Israelites’ rise and dispersal, and the reign of the Persian Empire. The book includes a foreword by a US professor of classical and modern languages, literatures, and cultures; time lines; color maps; and a glossary. 142 Pages · 2011 · 30.65 MB · English
