Fascinating Ancient Egypt

The book by German writer and educator Karl Oppe (1816–1903) on the history of Ancient Egypt was no less popular among schoolchildren than the legendary «Myths of Ancient Greece» by Nikolai Kuna.
You will be transported back 3000 years, to the height of Egyptian civilization, see the grand pyramids in their pristine beauty, visit the court of famous pharaohs, sail on the sacred Nile, visit palaces, temples, oases, and get to know the lives of ordinary Egyptians, priests, and rulers. And, of course, you can expect an amazing tour through the world of Egyptian mythology.
For our edition, the legendary book by Oppe has been re-edited: all information has been supplemented and corrected in accordance with modern Egyptology data.
The new full-color illustrations, which include reproductions of masterpieces of Egyptian art, photographs of exhibits from historical museums, and the best examples of world painting with «Egyptian» motifs, make this book unique: such a colorful edition was unimaginable for readers of the 19th century.
