Life in Ancient Egypt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Adolf Erman did a very fine job on writing this book. It basically covers what it was like to live along the Nile in Ancient times. His writing is very easy to understand and I recommend it to teachers to read to their classes. Unlike some other books, this one does not just talk about the well known pharaohs but some that I have never even heard of. He also includes many special events. This book was the best I have ever read about Egyptology and covers everything anyone would need to know.

Exodus Lost Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thoroughly enjoyed Exodus Lost. It is definitely a page-turner; it reads like a scholarly mystery novel bringing various clues together to solve an ancient mystery. You will not want to put it down once you start. What's more, the author's theories correlate with some of the latest archaeological evidence coming to light. Exodus Lost brings sound research and archaeology together to give readers a different and intriguing perspective on ancient history!

Aztec and Mayan chronicles told of voyagers who arrived from across the Atlantic Ocean centuries before Columbus. Remembered as founding fathers, they hailed from a remote land called Tlillan Tlapallan, "Black Land Red Land." Now, for the first time, Exodus Lost presents compelling evidence that this lost homeland was Kemet Deshret, "Black Land Red Land," the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt. From this follow a series of groundbreaking discoveries into the origins of Mexican civilization, the roots of Western civilization, the creation of the alphabet, the history of the pyramids, and even new archaeological evidence for several major Bible stories. Enter a world of exploration and discovery, mystery and revelation. Whether your passion is archaeology or religion, history or simply a great adventure, Exodus Lost delivers. Beautifully illustrated with 126 photos, maps, and engravings.

(More customer reviews)Egypt vs. Greece And The American Academy: The Debate Over The Birth Of Civilization collaboratively edited by Molefi Asante (Professor of African American Studies, Temple University) and Ama Mazama (Associate Professor, Department of African American Studies, Temple University) is a selection of erudite, informative, challenging, scholarly essays by an eclectic variety of learned authors, each one of whom focuses on different aspects of the rise of human civilization, from how a genetic model compares to ancient African history to observations about Eurosupremacism in academia. A fascinating, involved, iconoclastic compendium, Egypt vs. Greece And The American Academy is very highly recommended reading for students of Black Studies, as well as a seminal and ground-breaking addition to academic reference collections for the study of ancient history and the developmental origins of Western Civilization.

The Ancient Mediterranean (Meridian) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Michael Grant has shown over the years to be an authority on ancient times (in the Western World). He has especially dedicated a number of his books to Greece and Rome. In the Ancient Mediterranean, he broadens his field to the various civilizations around this body of water, particularly the ones on the eastern shores.
This book is only partly history. It is also anthropology, as Grant examines what made up the culture of these various groups. Since a lot of this is very ancient, there are not many individuals in much of this book; instead this is the story of various groups. Only late in the book, when the focus moves to Greece and then Rome do we see individual historic figures; even then, Grant only glosses over them as he examines the societies.
Because of Grant's style, this can be slow reading at times, but there is a lot of good information here. If you are interested in Greek and Roman history, this book is insufficient, but to get a context in which these great civilizations arouse, this book will work well.
