  History of Ancient Egypt

The stories behind the discoveries are as fascinating as the objects uncovered.

Cultural Atlas of Ancient Egypt
Not only is this an exellent introduction to many aspects of Egypt, it is a visual delight. The maps, especially, configure in the reader's mind spacial relationships and their cultural implications. Other illustrations of temple precincts and related architectural elements of Egyptian life supplement the excellent writing, written for, but never "down to" non-specialists.
