One of the most vexing problems in Egyptology is the question of establishing reliable chronologies, whether through relative methods such as stratigraphy and the dating of artifacts or through more absolute time horizons established by astronomical ephemera or radiometric dating. In this overview of ancient Egypt--meant for advanced students, but accessible to general readers with an interest in the area--Ian Shaw and 13 contributors pay close attention to issues of chronology, reconciling conflicts of dating that mark older scholarship.
While doing so, they address other problems in the study of ancient Egypt, such as the lack of material evidence of early humans in the region and the increasing destruction of sites in the face of contemporary urban growth. Elsewhere, they remark on the principal developments that distinguish periods in Egyptian prehistory, such as the Old Kingdom's use of large-scale building projects to consolidate power and "remind people of the greatness of pharaonic civilization," and the Middle and New kingdoms' apparent openness to foreigners, which lent Egypt a cosmopolitan, multicultural air that persisted for centuries during long periods of domination by outside powers such as Persia and Rome. Highly useful as a reference and survey, this handsomely illustrated book is a fine addition to any Egyptophile's collection. --Gregory McNamee --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

評分花瞭一個多月纔基本看完,是我看過最專業最詳盡的古埃及曆史和考古通史。全書其實很枯燥,但這是因為作者非常剋製謹慎,往往引用大量考古成果和他人研究,纔小心得齣一個信息量很少的結論。看完覺得古埃及真是詮釋瞭“國之大事,惟祀與戎”,幾乎所有權力的來源和王朝信仰都奠基於此,埃及也遠非高度集權的帝國,法老的權力時刻會衰落、碎片化,總之很與眾不同
