{"product_id":"the-penguin-historical-atlas-of-ancient-egypt-isbn-9780140513318","title":"The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Egypt","description":"From its humble origins as a cluster of rival chiefdoms along the banks of the Nile, ancient Egypt rose to become one of the most advanced civilizations of its time. This atlas traces its turbulent history and remarkable cultural development, from the founding of Memphis around 5000 BC, through the territorial expansion and flourishing trade of the ‘age of empire’, to Greek domination and ultimate collapse. Political rivalries are charted through the successive dynasties, from the strife of the intermediate periods to the golden ages of prosperity and artistic glory under Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. The latest archaeological evidence is used to cast new light on the vast architectural legacy of the world’s first great nation state. The authoritative narrative, illustrated with over sixty full colour maps and over seventy plates, makes this an indispensable handbook for history students and enthusiasts alike.\u003ci\u003eTimelines\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I:  Origins of Ancient Egypt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrehistoric Egypt\u003cbr\u003eThe Emergence of Egypt\u003cbr\u003eThe Old Kingdom Administration\u003cbr\u003eOld Kingdom Egypt and Nubia\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Pyramid Age\u003cbr\u003eThe First Intermediate Period\u003cbr\u003eThe Egyptian Language and Writing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: The Middle Kingdom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wars of Reunification\u003cbr\u003eThe Administrative State\u003cbr\u003eThe Faiyum and Delta\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Kingdom Egypt and the Near East\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Kingdom Egypt and Nubia\u003cbr\u003eThe Second Intermediate Period\u003cbr\u003eThebes, Kush and the Hyksos Kings\u003cbr\u003eEgyptian Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III:  The New Kingdom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wars of Ahmose\u003cbr\u003eWawat and Kush\u003cbr\u003eEgypt, Syria and Palestine I\u003cbr\u003eEgypt, Syria and Palestine II\u003cbr\u003ePunt and God's Land\u003cbr\u003ePower and the Royal Palace I\u003cbr\u003ePower and the Royal Palace II\u003cbr\u003eThe Amarna Letters\u003cbr\u003eEgyptian Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: The Late New Kingdom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Road to Kadesh\u003cbr\u003eUrbanization\u003cbr\u003eLibyan Invasions and the Sea Peoples\u003cbr\u003eThe Decline of Royal Authority\u003cbr\u003eTanis, Thebes and Libya\u003cbr\u003eThe Palestinian Campaign of Shoshenk I\u003cbr\u003eDivision of the Kingdom\u003cbr\u003eKings from Kush\u003cbr\u003eThe Valley of the Kings\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V:  The Late Period\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sack of Thebes\u003cbr\u003eThe Saite Monarchy\u003cbr\u003eSaite Egypt and the Near East\u003cbr\u003eThe Nubian Legacy of the 25th Dynasty\u003cbr\u003ePersian and Egyptian Independence\u003cbr\u003eAfter Alexander\u003cbr\u003eWomen in Egypt\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKing List\u003cbr\u003eFurther Reading\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBill Manley teaches Egyptology at the University of Glasgow.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301283483877,"sku":"NP9780140513318","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780140513318.jpg?v=1767740911","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-penguin-historical-atlas-of-ancient-egypt-isbn-9780140513318","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
