Publisher's Synopsis

Archaeological excavations at Sakkara, the necropolis of ancient Memphis, have uncovered important evidence about Egyptian civilization in the first two dynasties 3200-2780 BC. This book provides a survey of what we know, through these discoveries, of the cultural achievements of the great people who lived on the banks of the Nile nearly 5000 years ago.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
