The Treasury of Ancient Egypt Miscellaneous Chapters on Ancient Egyptian History and Archaeology

"The Treasury of Ancient Egypt" by Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall is a historical exploration of ancient Egypt, pieced together from the author’s personal adventures and studies in the region. The book speaks to anyone captivated by Egypt's fascinating story, weaving together archaeology, culture, and political perspectives. It begins by setting a tone that acknowledges the sometimes dull work of digging up the past, but emphasizes that archaeology is necessary to better understand societies, both old and new. Weigall uses his time as an inspector-general in Upper Egypt to show us how archaeology protects precious bits of culture. It is a way to fuse together stories of the past with physical things left behind. The purpose of knowing ancient history can give people wisdom now for the future.
