The book covers the history of the Nile/Egypt from ancient times up until the 19th century, when all the really great discoveries re tombs, etc., began to be made.
The maps and illustrations really bring the whole thing into a perspective which is hard to imagine, I think. For example, the Nile flows from south to north. I know that is a "known fact", but it's hard to visualize in the mind sometimes when trying to imagine what happened where and when. With a great map, it becomes easier.
This book, incidentally, is a great companion for anyone who enjoys the Amelia Peabody series, or anyone who reads a lot of Egyptian history, or anyone who has had the good fortune to visit Egypt and see the monuments in person. It really gives a perspective of the tremendous work involved.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the history of Egypt, and as mentioned, and Peabody books.
