 Ancient Egyptian Atlas, 2008-12-20
A well-crafted and organized history of Ancient Egypt with excellent maps and descriptions of territories, kingdoms and movement of people and rulers throughout 7000 years of transformation.

 Somebody tell Amazon this is an Atlas, 2008-09-07
These guineas say "Look inside this book" (an atlas, of all things!) and then, when you do, all they give you is print. Not a single map to be seen! I can't rate this atlas, but I give Amazon an F- for their "search inside" preview of this book.

 Unsatisfactory, 2007-09-27
The book has a great collection of maps; however, sidetracks from major aspects of Egyptian history. The information presented on the 25th Dynasty, is particularly unsatisfactory. Major events like the battle of 701 BC between Egypt's 25th Dynasty and Assyria, which changed map of the middle east, is vaguely mentioned. The information presented is inconsistent and certainly unsatisfactory for the average reader.

Not the most informative book on Egyptian history, but then again it IS an ATLAS!, 2005-11-29
Many people are writing that this book did not satisfy their desire for facts and more in-depth explanations of Egyptian history, and that the book's text is not informative. This book is not meant for that purpose, and is really and truly an atlas. The maps are what matter.
In that reguard it serves its purpose and more. The maps are extremely easy to follow, clearly labelled and idenitified, colorful, and most of all- informative. One can tell so much about a period of history by analyzing a map, particularly several which have trade routes, battle sites, important roads and cultural sites CLEARLY marked. Who could ask for anything more! This atlas is wonderful, and is, I repeat, an atlas.
Anyways? What kind of person sits down and reads an atlas? I mean, seriously, its just a reference book, its not a novel. Its not supposed to tell wonderful stories and dazzle you with vibrant facts, its just maps, and anything else, is extra.

Great aid to study of Ancient Egypt, 2005-10-03
Maps showing the changing boundaries of countries through a period of history are great visual for students of ancient history.
