The Ancient Egypt Guide

Originally published as the Penguin Guide to Ancient Egypt, William Murnane's highly-acclaimed book has been fully revised and updated by Professor Aidan Dodson. This new edition will bring Murnane's engaging yet rigorous learning to a new audience, complete with up-to-date guidebook information as well as a compact yet wide-ranging cultural history.

William J. Murnane was born in New York in 1945 and studied at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. A prolific writer, he became Professor of Ancient History at the University of Memphis, Tennessee, and field director of an ongoing project devoted to recording and publishing the reliefs and inscriptions in the Great Hypostyle Hall of the Temple of Karnak. He died suddenly in 2000.
