Divided in two parts, this book chronicles the civilization of Ancient Egypt. The first part focuses on the history of Egypt from the earliest times to the Roman period. The second part takes the reader along the country and provides a detailed map of each region.

The book fails as an atlas : the author provides too much information about the various aspects of the Egyptian daily life and society, and the maps have no stability.

Offering a helpful glossary, this book, for children ages 9 to 12, has many illustrations regarding the Egyptian civilization.
