Famed archaeologist John Romer draws on a lifetime of research to tell one history's greatest stories; how, over more than a thousand years, a society of farmers created a rich, vivid world where one of the most astounding of all human-made landmarks, the Great Pyramid, was built. Immersing the reader in the Egypt of the past, Romer examines and challenges the long-held theories about what archaeological finds mean and what stories they tell about how the Egyptians lived. More than just an account of one of the most fascinating periods of history, this engrossing book asks readers to take a step back and question what they've learned about Egypt in the past. Fans of Stacy Schiff's \u003ci\u003eCleopatra\u003c\/i\u003e and history buffs will be captivated by this re-telling of Egyptian history, written by one of the top Egyptologists in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51366643892447,"sku":"9781250030115","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/R3K1T6a3SP9781250030115.webp?v=1789095219"},{"product_id":"a-history-of-ancient-egypt-volume-2-from-the-great-pyramid-to-the-fall-of-the-middle-kingdom-paperback","title":"A History of Ancient Egypt Volume 2: From the Great Pyramid to the Fall of the Middle Kingdom - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Another solid work of history from an author and historian who truly grasps the mysteries of ancient Egypt.\" - \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a lifetime of research, John Romer chronicles the history of Ancient Egypt from the building of the Great Pyramid through the rise and fall of the Middle Kingdom: a peak of Pharaonic culture and the period when writing first flourished. Through extensive research over many decades of work, reveals how the grand narratives of 19th and 20th century Egyptologists have misled us by portraying a culture of cruel monarchs and chronic war. Instead, based in part on discoveries of the past two decades, this extraordinary account shows what we can really learn from the remaining architecture, objects, and writing: a history based on physical reality.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51366651199711,"sku":"9781250833495","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/lAZLYBjX1c9781250833495.webp?v=1789095248"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/john-romer.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
