First Edition, published in 2000 by the Oxford University Press, Oxford. "The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt" is the only history to provide detailed historical coverage of Egypt from the early Stone Age to its incorporation into the Roman Empire. The lively essays and beautiful illustrations portray the emergence and development of the distinctive civilization of the ancient Egyptians covering the period from 700,000 BC to AD 311. The authors, each working at the cutting edge of their particular field, outline the principal sequence of political events, including detailed examinations of the three so-called Intermediate Periods previously regarded as "Dark Ages". Against the backdrop of the rise and fall of ruling dynasties, this Oxford History also examines cultural and social patterns, including stylistic developments in art and literature. The pace of change in such aspects of Egyptian culture as monumental architecture, funerary beliefs, ethnicity was not necessarily tied to the rate of political change.
