"The great pyramids of Giza, Tutankhamun, the Great Sphinx, Cleopatra, and Ramesses II - the names and achievements of ancient Egypt are legendary. Ancient Egyptian civilization, situated along the Nile River, began around 3150 BC and was ruled by pharaohs for three millennia until it was conquered by Rome in 31 BC. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egypt expands upon the first edition through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and cross-referenced dictionary entries on Egyptian rulers, bureaucrats, and commoners whose records have survived, as well as ancient society, religion, and gods."--Jacket.
