Ancient Egypt and Nubia — Fully Explained: A New History of the Nile Valley Civilizations of Kemet and Kush
This book assumes you know nothing about Nile Valley history. And so it takes you from the very beginning, well before the first pharaohs, all the way to the end — with the rise of the Kushite kings.
“An absolutely fascinating read".
You will soon understand that Egypt was well and truly the gift of “geography”. Its biggest geographic asset was of course the Nile — a river which it shared with its southern neighbor i.e. Nubia. Seeing as they shared the same river, it should come as no surprise that Egypt and Nubia also shared the same “Green Sahara” roots.
Understanding this is the key to acknowledging Ancient Egypt in its African context.
This book is full of images and maps — so that you can “see” what you read. And what you “read” is equally as beautiful as what you see.
Wait no longer. Go ahead and Buy Now.
P.S. Much more than political history is “fully explained”. Other topics covered include art, philosophy, literature, society, economy, and more — with all such perfectly mixed into the narrative. As just one example, you’ll learn why the very concept of the 24-hour day was birthed!

An excellent narrative of ancient Egyptian and Nubian history. It is detailed but the author has produced a book that flows very well. The maps and images are an added bonus.
