Summary: "From its first beginnings over 7,000 years ago, the land that is now Egypt nurtured an extraordinary pioneering civilization - one of the oldest, most powerful, long-lasting and technically accomplished cultures the world has ever known. Over the millennia its achievements have never lost their power to amaze and delight - and justly so, for Egyptian architects and artists produced some of the greatest masterpieces of world art. This book presents a carefully chosen chronological selection of the finest works of art produced over a period ranging from c.4000 BC, when sophisticaed works of art were already being made, to c.200 AD, when Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire." - book jacket.
