Requests:  0 Summary:  Drawing on a lifetime of research, John Romer chronicles the history of Ancient Egypt from the building of the Great Pyramid through the rise and fall of the Middle Kingdom: a peak of Pharaonic culture and the period when writing first flourished. Through extensive research over many decades of work, reveals how the grand narratives of 19th and 20th century Egyptologists have misled us by portraying a culture of cruel monarchs and chronic war. Instead, based in part on discoveries of the past two decades, this extraordinary account shows what we can really learn from the remaining architecture, objects, and writing: a history based on physical reality.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Romer v.2 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 932 Ro   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
