In this particular landmark work, one of the world's most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic report of this great civilization, from its labor and birth as the first nation-state to its final absorption into the Roman Empire - 3,000 years of wild drama, vibrant spectacle, and memorable characters. Award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson captures not only the lavish pomp and imaginative grandeur of this land of pyramids and pharaohs but for the first time reveals the regular propaganda and repression that were its foundations. Drawing upon 40 years of archaeological research, Wilkinson requires us in a exotic tribal population with a pre-monetary economy and decadent, divine kings who ruled with all-too-recognizable human being emotions. Riveting and revelatory, filled with new information and unique interpretations, The Surge and Fall season of Old Egypt will become the standard source concerning this great civilization, one which lasted - up to now - much longer than every other.
