The Art of Ancient Egypt by Gay Robins As opposed to your next book, Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilisation, which is slightly more complicated, because it represents a reassessment of Ancient Egypt – right?Toby Wilkinson is an English Egyptologist and academic. In 2011 he was awarded the Hessell-Tiltman Prize for his book The Rise And Fall Of Ancient Egypt which makes him one of Britain’s most accomplished experts on Ancient Egypt, and this is one of the best books on Ancient Egypt. The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt by Richard H. Wilkinson Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. Another great thing about the book, and a reason I think so many people love it, is that it is full of wonderful illustrations. They are just about the most useful illustrations in any academic book on Ancient Egypt, and they are all by Barry Kemp himself. They really bring complicated subjects alive. For anyone who wants to get beneath the surface of Ancient Egypt, it is a fascinating discussion and analysis.
