Ancient Egypt has long held a fascination for both archaeologists and members of the general public, yet a common misconception is that there is little left to discovered. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Using the latest scientific techniques, archaeologists are regularly making important new finds as well as re-examining existing artefacts in new and revealing ways.
With the benefit of unprecedented access to key archaeological sites and experts working there, the authors reveal startling new discoveries about such varied subjects as the construction of the pyramids, the origins of the first known writing system and even the use of hair dye to cover up grey!
Illustrated with over 200 colour photographs and computer-generated images, Egypt provides a striking addition to our knowledge of this unique civilisation.
