Historia del antiguo Egipto

Ancient Egypt, land and time of pyramids and sphinxes, temples and mummies, appears to us as a mythical space full of unknowns. However, beyond this exotic and orientalist look, much progress has been made in the knowledge of this ancient culture, to the point of developing a specific branch of the study of history, Egyptology, for its correct understanding. This accredited and recognized work offers an interpretative synthesis, both agile and erudite, of the history of the land of the pharaohs, from the Prehistory of the Nile to the conquest of Alexander the Great, being an update of the knowledge that Egyptology currently drives. Articulated on the most reliable chronology and fed with information provided by considerable archaeological material, the work gives ample space to economics, linguistics, anthropology and other related disciplines, alongside more classical approaches such as the account of events and the evocation of outstanding historical figures. Abundantly illustrated and enriched with numerous Egyptian texts, this work aspires to provide the interested reader, academic or not, with an in-depth knowledge of the oldest and most prestigious of the civilizations of the Mediterranean world.
