More than 5,000 years ago, ancient Egypt was a thriving civilization in northeastern Africa. Pharaohs ruled the people with an iron fist. From the towering pyramids to the mysterious art of mummification, ancient Egypt was a civilization overflowing with wonders. The art, architecture, language, and lifestyles of this ancient society still impact the world today.

Ancient Egypt: A Journey down the Nile is a photographic celebration of the wonders of the kingdom of the Pharoahs, from Philae and Karnak in the south to Memphis, the pyramids at Giza, and finally the Nile delta itself. The extraordinary civilization of ancient Egypt could not have existed without the Nile, which rises in the Ethiopian Highlands and sub-Saharan Africa. In life, the ancient Egyptians were tied to an area of at most a few kilometres either side of the great river. Even in death, the Ancient Egyptians where never far from the river. Many of the most famous archaeological sites - the pyramids at Giza, the Valley of the Kings, the step pyramid at Saqqara, and the royal cult temples at Deir al-Bahri - lie within, beside, or on top of the cliffs created by the immense past flows of the River Nile. Ancient Egypt: A Journey Down the Nile follows the course of the river from south to north, illuminating ancient Egyptian history through the patchwork of temples, tombs and pyramids to either side. The Egyptian state began with unification under southern Egyptian kings around 3100 BC and it started its final decline in the north around the great city of Alexandria, established in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. Engaging and illustrated throughout with more than 180 photographs, Ancient Egypt: Journey Down the Nile is a vivid pictorial exploration of 4,000 years of Ancient Egyptian civilization from the river that gave life to the region.
