Review: Fantastic book - This is quite simply the best book I have ever bought. Totally superb. Slightly larger than A4 it really is a joy to behold. The design and the layout are excellent with lots of photographs that make this a visual experience as well as verbal. The text is clear and quite concise, not rambling on with obscure details that would only interest an Egyptologist. Easy to get so absorbed that you find yourself walking in the Valley of the Kings or scrutinising the murals in the tomb of Tutankhamen. It's so good I immediately bought the companion volumes on Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. And for £17 it's an absolute giveaway. That's more the price of a paperback rather than a top quality hardback. Don't hesitate to buy before they're all sold out. Review: Satisfied customer - Excellent book , very informative and fantasticly well illustratated. Very good value for money. Would definately recomend. I ended up buying the others in the series as I was so pleased. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 228,382 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 94 in Antiquities 28,302 in Religion & Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 244 Reviews | ## Images ![Ancient Egypt: An Illustrated History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718f7Hr-55L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book *by P***L on 17 April 2024* This is quite simply the best book I have ever bought.

Very good value for money. Would definately recomend. I ended up buying the others in the series as I was so pleased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully Presented but (hardback version) *by D***S on 11 December 2020* No dispute about the content - really excellent. The materials used are The images used are high quality and the type face very clear. The first but - the pages are glossy and reflective, so the choice of reading lighting and location is important. The chapters are subject based rather than chronological, not a quibble, but if you are not conversant with the subject matter maybe a bit disconcerting. The second but - the hardback version is heavy, well over a kilo. Overall an excellent reference book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ancient Egypt: An Illustrated History - Ancient Greece: An Illustrated History: The Illustrated Encyclopedia; A Comprehensive History With 1000 Images - Ancient Rome: An Illustrated History --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/85621195-ancient-egypt-an-illustrated-history](https://www.desertcart.co/products/85621195-ancient-egypt-an-illustrated-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
