When Egypt Ruled the East

A history of ancient Egypt’s golden age. “As an introduction to Egyptian history for students . . . it can hardly be too highly recommended.” —Elizabeth Riefstahl, American Journal of Archeology

Here, adequately presented for the first time in English, is the fascinating story of a splendid culture that flourished thirty-five hundred years ago in the empire on the Nile: kings and conquests, gods and heroes, beautiful art, sculpture, poetry, architecture.

Significant archeological discoveries are constantly being made in Egypt. In this revision Professor Steele has rewritten whole chapters on the basis of these new finds and offers several new conclusions to age-old problems.
