Gray, Leon, ed. New Cultural Atlas of Egypt.
Marshall Cavendish/Benchmark 2009 192p 69.95 978-0-7614-7877-5 hs Using historical and topographical maps, readers explore ninety significant ancient sites on the Egyptian/Nile delta. This volume offers some helpful features which include illustrated timelines for Egyptian history, architecture and tomes, and art and crafts, detailed maps and descriptions of Egyptian topography, as well as historical maps of Egypt, and crisp, high-quality photographs and illustrations that are clearly captioned and accurately placed in relation to text. Using historical and topographical maps, the reader explores 90 significant ancient sites, from the Pyramids to less-well-known sites throughout the Nile delta. The glossary, suggested readings, bibliography, and index are very complete. Some information was missing from this volume. The Egyptian language and writing system were not included in the chapter "Scribes and Writing." In the chapter devoted to "Religion," no individual treatment of the pantheon of Ancient Egyptian deities was provided. A list of museums with Egyptian collections or a list of recommended websites might be a useful addition, as well. This volume is an updated, abridged version of an earlier cultural atlas published by Checkmark Books in 1990. Welliver, Hilary
