The Egyptians

Enter the world of the Ancient Egyptians with this ultimate guide. This lavish book is illustrated throughout with breathtaking stills and computer graphics that show Egypt in a vivid manner never seen before, while author Anton Gill guides you through the history of the empire, offering insight into all its aspects. This extraordinary book reflects a dramatic, enthralling and hi-tech approach to what life was really like in Ancient Egypt. The majority of images are unique to the book, and were originally shot for the Channel 4 series of the same name. They reveal Egypt as never before - through the eyes of both its pharoahs and people - as well as providing a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the culture, from architecture and warfare to medicine and women's rights. As well as forming the ultimate, stand-alone guide to Ancient Egypt, the book will also focus on four very specific stories that give a full flavour of what daily life was like then. Special effects and graphics are courtesy of the same team who provided those on Ridley Scott's Gladiator movie, to produce a startling viewpoint of what life was like then.
