For 3000 years the valley of the Nile was an immense construction site under the direction of the Pharaoh's master-builders. This book takes an in-depth look at the spiritual aspects of a unique architecture and building technique, illuminating its discussion with more than 140 illustrations. Through description of the buildings, frescos, statues, hieroglyphs, and paintings it demonstrates how a civilization and its kings developed a faith and religion that was omnipresent, and how and why Egyptian art continued to flourish for 3000 years.
