there are better history books available

In this book, the author attempts to summarize the latest evidence and theories on Ancient Egypt from the Predynastic to the beginning of Greek rule. The best to be said is that it has been extensively researched and some of the theories are interesting. However he reiterates himself too much and ignores crucial research. All in all, this is a book for both laypeople and scholars, but definitely one which must be read with caution.
