Egypt. Classic Guide

The famous Egyptologist Wallis Budge compiled his guide for the renowned travel agency "Thomas Cook and Sons". The author focused on the architectural and historical monuments located on both sides of the Nile, between Cairo and Wadi Halfa. A brief overview of Egyptian history, including the great past of Egypt from 4400-450 BC, is accompanied by vivid, lively pictures of the life of ancient and modern Egyptians as seen by the author. Budge devoted special attention to Egyptian hieroglyphic writing and the religious beliefs of the people of Egypt. The scholar's deep knowledge convinces of the reliability of the information, and the original vibrant author's perspective adds a special charm to the descriptions of the monuments of Alexandria, Cairo, Heliopolis, the Suez Canal, the pyramids of Giza, and many other attractions of Egypt.
