Now  new research and excavation are transforming our knowledge. This is the first book to bring these latest discoveries to a wide audience and to provide a comprehensive overview of what we know about ancient settlement during the dynastic period. The cities range in date from early urban centers to large metropolises. From houses to palaces to temples  the different parts of Egyptian cities and towns are examined in detail  giving a clear picture of the urban world. The inhabitants  from servants to Pharaoh  are vividly brought to life  placed in the context of the civil administration that organized every detail of their lives. Famous cities with extraordinary buildings and fascinating histories are also examined here through detailed individual treatments  including: Memphis  home of the pyramidbuilding kings of the Old Kingdom; Thebes  containing the greatest concentration of monumental buildings from the ancient world; and Amarna  intimately associated with the pharaoh Akhenaten. An analysis of information from modern excavations and ancient texts recreates vibrant ancient communities  providing range and depth beyond any other publication on the subject.  242 illustrations  193 in color","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44915452248117,"sku":"ByrdShop_0500051798","price":166.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0500051798_ca0f603e-955b-46f3-97ed-36d3cff592e4.jpg?v=1770248321","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-complete-cities-of-ancient-egypt","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
