Extractions: There are many good general books about Ancient Egypt on the shelves of libraries and bookstores. This bibliography hopes to guide readers through some of the readily available works. Books which are especially good for teachers or students will be noted, as well as good books for the general reader who wants more detailed information. Where to Start: Fortunately, the best books to begin with are in print, and easy to find in libraries and bookstores. Dr. Barbara Mertz writes mystery novels under the name of Elizabeth Peters. Her success and popularity as a writer of fiction is based on her clear, lively style; the same style has made this book and its successor, Red Land, Black Land, two of the best general interest books ever written about Ancient Egypt. Both have been revised several times, and reprinted constantly since their publication in the 1960s. Dr. Mertz introduces the reader to Egyptian history and society with impeccable scholarship, great good humour and common sense. These are fine books to keep by the bedside for a good read, or to begin your serious study of Ancient Egypt. The clear line drawings sometimes show details of objects, hairdos, and clothing in a way that colour photos cannot. Both books are readily available in paperback and hardcover. They made wonderful additions to any personal or school library. Teachers and students alike will enjoy these excellent introductions to Ancient Egypt.

Guestbook Ancient Egypt I. Introduction Ancient Egypt, civilization that thrived along the Nile River in northeastern Africa for more than 3,000 years, from about 3300 BC to 30 BC. It was the longest-lived civilization of the ancient world. Geographically, the term ancient Egypt indicates the territory where the ancient Egyptians lived in the valley and delta of the Nile. Culturally, it refers to the ways ancient Egyptians spoke, worshiped, understood the nature of the physical world, organized their government, made their livings, entertained themselves, and related to others who were not Egyptian. The Nile River, which formed the focus of ancient Egyptian civilization, originates in the highlands of East Africa and flows northward throughout the length of what are now Sudan and Egypt. Northwest of modern-day Cairo, it branches out to form a broad delta, through which it empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Because of seasonal rains farther south in Africa, the Nile overflowed its banks in Egypt every year. When the floodwaters receded, a rich black soil covered the floodplain. This natural phenomenon and its effects on the environment enabled the ancient Egyptians to develop a successful economy based on agriculture.

Extractions: Civilization of Ancient Egypt Have you ever seen the movie called Prince of Egypt, the Mummy or Stargate? Even though they have a lot of fictional factors, anyway, their similarity is Egyptian civilization, which was the background for them. From the movies, I merely got some clues about ancient Egypt; I honestly didn¡¯t know so much about it before watching them. Before I was conducting this interview, I needed to get some information about what real ancient Egypt was like. Fortunately I could meet two students, who knew considerate information about ancient Egypt because they are history majors. According to the web page, Yahoo Travel (http://travel.yahoo.com/t/Africa/Egypt/), Egypt is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the east by Israel and the Red Sea, on the south by Sudan, and on the west by Libya. The Civilization of Egypt has a unique cultural society in ancient period, compared with other civilizations. It has affected some areas of general Egyptian society.

Extractions: Since the Greek historian Herodotus first wrote about his travels through Egypt in the fifth century B.C., people have speculated about how the Pharaohs built their massive monuments, and marvelled at the beauty of their art and architecture. Civilization in Egypt flourished over 5,000 years ago, and the country's historic sites are among the worlds greatest attractions. The first seeds of civilization were sown in the fertile Nile Valley, surrounded by the endless desert. Here, the first multinational state was born, the first writing system using hieroglyphics was invented, the concepts of kingship, religion and bureaucracy were developed. For all of these, it is little wonder that Egypt continues to capture our attention. Here is your complete list of links to Egypt on the Web...Enjoy
