An introduction to the history of ancient Egypt and Egyptology. “Mertz gives special attention to such topics as the kingship (yes) of Queen Hatshepsut, the exploits of Thutmose III, and the Amarna Period with its intriguing players… Mertz also explains in simple language archaeological techniques such as carbon 14 dating and historical chronology.” Libr J. review of 1964 edition

Review of 'Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs' on 'Goodreads'

i love stories, documentaries, and books about ancient Egypt. i'm fascinated by the religion, and all aspects of Egyptian life. But i found this book very long winded and dry. It wasn't exciting or very informative at all. It took forever for me to finish it.
