Guide de l'Egypte Predynastique

The guide to Predynastic Egypt is designed for all those passionate about the origins of this civilization. This last period of Egyptian Prehistory - covering the entire 4th millennium BC - directly precedes and lays the groundwork for the emergence of Pharaonic kingship in the early 3rd millennium BC. Long unknown, it now benefits from half a century of in-depth archeological research that adheres to the required standards of this discipline, as well as the advances in modern technology. This guide, the first of its kind for this period of Egyptian history, offers a complete overview of the current state of knowledge. It focuses on the social, economic, and cultural effervescence of a world in the throes of change, both from a regional point of view and in its confrontation with neighboring regions in the East and Africa.
