This landmark reference work maps the entire geography of ancient Egypt — from the sun-scorched deserts of the Western Sahara to the fertile banks of the Nile Delta — charting the rise of its great cities, temples, burial grounds, and administrative regions with meticulous scholarly precision. Organized both geographically and thematically, the atlas presents detailed regional surveys alongside illuminating discussions of Egyptian religion, society, art, and history, making it an indispensable resource for students, academics, and enthusiasts alike.\n\nBaines, a Professor of Egyptology at Oxford, and Málek, a curator at the Griffith Institute, bring unparalleled academic authority to a subject that rewards deep study, illustrating how the ancient Egyptians understood and shaped their landscape over three thousand years of continuous civilization. The work seamlessly integrates cartography, photography, and scholarly commentary to argue that geography was not merely a backdrop to Egyptian culture but its very foundation — the Nile itself the architect of one of history's greatest societies. Whether you are tracing the footsteps of pharaohs or seeking to understand the religious geography of the afterlife, this atlas leaves the reader with the tantalizing sense that the sands of Egypt have yet to yield all their secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572615811291,"sku":"2026200018818-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ad27dc34-c55b-405a-ad2b-fc46c944bfc8.png?v=1791166928","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018818-secondhand-atlas-of-ancient-egypt","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
