Book Review Written January 7, 2020Ancient Egypt A Captivating Guide to Egyptian History, Ancient Pyramids, Temples, Egyptian Mythology, and Pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, By Matt Clayton (Captivating History)Kindle Edition  (139 Pages)This is a concise historical analysts of  the Ancient Egyptian Civilization. The exceptionally well written narrative provides an overview of Egyptian history while focusing on major elements of Egyptian Civilization, such as,  the  social and cultural structure and development, ideas regarding kingship and the pharaonic culture, Egyptians religious beliefs and mythology, funerary beliefs and practices, mummification, and the constitution of pyramids, tombs, and temples.  The narrative is supplemented with numerous contemporary accounts and translated passages hieroglyphic writings on papyrus, stone monuments, structures, and other stone surfaces.The Ancient Egyptian Empire existed for 3,000 years. Like many sovereign kingdoms, it emerged from the remnants that survived the clashes of diverse forces that fought to control fragmented territories, and developed into a nation that transformed North Africa and the surrounding world. Ancient Egypt gradually grew into a cultural epicenter, in which science and magic existed completely interconnected. The heights of human achievement in those golden ages are comparable to those of Ancient Greek and Roman societies at their peaks. Numerous texts that have been discovered that help us understand how the king, priests, and ordinary people lived and what they believed. The Egyptian people created an incredible civilization. Their generals fought numerous battles and their priests honored a pantheon of nearly 1,000 gods. Their kings directed the constitution of monumental architectural wonders like the pyramids and a vast range of  palaces, temples, arcane tombs, as well as great cities, towns, and villages. These accomplishments occurred over vast periods of time, long before Assyrian, Persians, Greek, and Roman civilizations emerged and subsequently invaded Egypt There are the three major eras in the timeline of Ancient Egypt: the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. The the iconic Pyramids and the Great Spinix that existed millennia were built during the Old Kingdom, during the Third Millennium B.C.E., a time of cultural awakening and colossal construction. The Middle Kingdom was a Egyptian "Golden Age", a period of national mummiffication  and renewal of cultural achievement. The New Kingdom, during the late Bronze Age, was an era of aggressive expansion and cultural advancement.The Ancient Egyptians conceived a concept of Kingship that existed successfully for 3000 years.  They developed one of the worlds first written languages (alongside Mesopotamia), invented papyrus centuries before the Chinese made paper, and originated the basic calendar structure still in use today. The Ancient Egyptians also formulated early forms of cosmetics, including eye makeup, and breath mints. One of the most fascinating and sophisticated civilizations in the known history, the Ancient Egyptians are remembered for their gods, pyramids, pharaohs, mummification, hieroglyphs, agriculture and much more.This book chronicles the intriguing stories behind the grandeur of Ancient Egyptian Civilization.This book was professionally researched from numerous primary and secondary sources, written, and published by Captivating History.

It was obviously thoroughly researched and presented without bias. The narrative was engaging and enjoyable. It explained the complex social, religious, political, and economic issues that impacted the history of Ancient Egypt in a clear and easy to understand manner.

The narrative is engaging and holds the readers interest from beginning to end.

    Very readable quick overview of ancient Egypt
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018*

I was looking for something that would hit the high level concepts and ideas of Ancient Egypt, not the minutia, but provide an introduction and overview, and I was delighted with this, in part because each section was a concise page turner that made me feel like I had not bitten off more than I could chew.One of my favorite lines in the book was:  From human sacrifice in the First Dynasty to a peasants’ revolt under the Ptolemies, ancient Egypt was a culture in which the relationship between the monarch and his people was based on oppression and terror, not love and admiration. King’s power was absolute, and human life was cheap.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A quick trip to ancient Egypt
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019*

This is a goof summary for one planing a trip to see the antiquities of Egypt. However, it is too superficial for a serious history of the era. More interaction with surrounding civilizations would be welcome as would a description of the fall of the ancient egyptian  civilization
