Description

"Manual of Egyptian Archaeology" is a detailed guide to the study of Ancient Egypt, with reference to significant discoveries, history, notable archaeologists, and much more. This fascinating volume is perfect for those studying the subject or even travellers and others with an interest in Egypt.

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
