Review: Buy it - Fantastic book. Beautiful photos. Easy to understand print. Fun stuff like fashion is interspersed with some of them more boring historical facts. Good for any age. I know I will come back to it time and again. Review: Fantastic overview of Ancient Egypt - Like all DK books this is packed with photographs, maps and illustrations. The text is concise and presents a straight forward overview of ancient Egyptian history. There is nothing controversial or cutting edge in the text, no new theories. However, it is a solid base to start from and a great book for anyone interested in ancient Egypt. The pages are thick and glossy, the binding is sturdy and the front and back covers are thick and fabric covered. A dust jacket would have been nice, but the overall quality of the book far exceeds this minor quibble. Great value for the money and an excellent start for ancient Egyptian history and culture. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #18,009 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in North Africa History #8 in Ancient Egyptians History #10 in History Encyclopedias | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,084 Reviews | ## Images ![Ancient Egypt: The Definitive Visual History (DK Classic History) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vYUppoopL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it *by V***A on February 24, 2026* Fantastic book.
