The Entire History of Ancient Egypt

Volume I: Prehistoric Egypt explores the origins of Egyptian civilization, from 5000 to 3100 BC, before the rise of pharaohs and pyramids. It traces the transition from nomadic groups to settled communities mastering agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship. Through the Badarian and Naqada cultures, the book reveals how early Egyptians harnessed the Nile, developed social hierarchies, and engaged in trade and conflict with Nubia and the Levant. Their innovations in art, fortifications, and commerce laid the foundation for the grandeur of dynastic Egypt, shaping a legacy that would endure for millennia.
