Fascinating Ancient Egypt

The book by the German writer and educator Karl Oppehl (1816-1903) on the history of Ancient Egypt was no less popular among schoolchildren than the legendary "Myths of Ancient Greece" by Nikolai Kuna.
You will be transported 3000 years back, to the era of the flourishing Egyptian civilization, where you will see the grandiose pyramids in their pristine beauty, visit the court of famous pharaohs, float down the sacred Nile, visit palaces, temples, oases, and get to know the lives of ordinary Egyptians, priests, and rulers. And of course, you will embark on an amazing tour of the world of Egyptian mythology.
For our edition, the legendary book by Oppehl has been newly edited: all the information in it has been supplemented and corrected in accordance with modern Egyptology data.
And the new full-color illustrative series, which includes reproductions of masterpieces of Egyptian art, photographs of exhibits from historical museums, and the best examples of world painting with "Egyptian" motifs, makes this book unique: such a colorful edition was something that readers of the 19th century could only dream of.
