Isbn: 9780500051221 - genesis of the pharaohs: dramatic new discoveries rewrite the origins of ancient egypt (20 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Generations of scholars, tourists and armchair travellers have been intrigued by the puzzle of ancient Egypt's origins. Now, in the light of Toby Wilkinson's dramatic new discoveries, the genesis of the pharaohs is at last coming into focus. But the picture that emerges is not what we imagined.
