Gill,Anton Ancient Egyptians : The Kingdom of the Pharoahs Brought to Life
Great Britain Harper Collins 2004 0007144008 / 9780007144006 Softcover New
256 pages. Enter the world of the Ancient Egyptians with this ultimate guide. This lavish book is illustrated throughout with breathtaking stills and computer graphics that show Egypt in a vivid manner never seen before, while author Anton Gill guides you through the history of the empire, offering insight into all its aspects. This extraordinary book reflects a dramatic, enthralling and hi-tech approach to what life was really like in Ancient Egypt. The majority of images are unique to the book, and were originally shot for the Channel 4 series of the same name. They reveal Egypt as never before -- through the eyes of both its pharoahs and people -- as well as providing a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the culture, from architecture and warfare to medicine and women's rights. As well as forming the ultimate, stand-alone guide to Ancient Egypt, the book will also focus on four very specific stories that give a full flavour of what daily life was like then. Special effects and graphics are courtesy of the same team who provided those on Ridley Scott's movie, 'Gladiator', to produce a startling viewpoint of what life was like then. The original images were created specially for the book, bringing Ancient Egypt to life as never before...Full-colour spreads depict various aspects of life throughout the book, along with library images of ruins and mummies as they exist today. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; Ancient History; Egypt; Ancient (BC); Archaeology. ISBN: 0007144008. ISBN/EAN: 9780007144006. Inventory No: 09060365. Paperback

Pope,Frank Dragon Sea - A Historical Mystery. Buried Treasure. An Adventure Beneath the Waves
Great Britain Michael Joseph 2007 0718150015 / 9780718150013 First Edition Hardcover As New As New
374 pages. Remainder mark. An engrossing tale of danger, adventure and ambition . . . It was to be the deepest marine excavation ever attempted. The stakes were high: The Hoi An wreck lay hundreds of feet down in a typhoon-prone stretch of water off the coast of Vietnam known as the Dragon Sea. In her hold, a unique and potentially priceless horde. To bring it to the surface required a grizzled, battle-scarred collection of treasure hunters, rig divers and ex-special forces, saturation diving, a crew of 160, and a fleet of boats. The costs would be unprecedented, but the potential rewards were equally high: Mensun Bound – an Oxford archaeologist dubbed the Indiana Jones of the Deep – would discover the answers to an age-old historical mystery.

Tyldesley,Joyce The Pharaohs
London Quercus Publishing 2009 1847244955 / 9781847244956 First Edition Hardcover New
256 pages. Concerning Egypt itself, I shall extend my remarks to a great length, because there is no country that possesses so many wonders.' The Greek writer Herodotus wrote these words as long ago as the 5th century BC, and the ancient civilization of Egypt has continued to cast its spell on historians, archaeologists and visitors ever since. Thanks to its geographical isolation, Egypt developed a unique and self-contained culture whose religion, customs, art, architecture and social structures changed little over 3000 years. And its dry climate led to the preservation of a wealth of monuments including ancient cities, pyramids, temples and other sumptuous artefacts. The Pharaohs is an illustrated history of the kings who ruled over this extraordinary land, narrating the story of 30 dynasties starting around 3100 BC when the first pharaoh, Menes, unified Upper and Lower Egypt, and ending with the conquest of Egypt in 332 BC by Alexander the Great. It profiles powerful, and sometimes enigmatic, rulers such as Mentuhotep II, Thutmose III, Amenophis II, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. The story of these kings includes such seminal events in ancient Egyptian history as the development of the science of writing and the building of the first pyramid at Saqqara during the Archaic Period; the building of the pyramids at Giza by the centralized administration of the Old Kingdom; the expansion of trade with the Levant and Nubia during the Middle Kingdom (the 'classical' phase of pharaonic civilization); the rule of the foreign Hyksos kings and their introduction of technical innovations such as the horse-drawn chariot; the undertaking of grandiose building projects in the Valley of the Kings by the pharaohs of New Kingdom; expansion into Palestine and Syria which led to conflict with the Hittites; the long decline of Egypt during the Late Period, culminating in its invasion and annexation by Persia and its eventual conquest by Alexander the Great.

495 pages. Minor reading creases to spine. This is the perennially fascinating Egyptian pyramids introduced by a world expert.
