`The great strength of Rice's approach is that he is determined to treat Egypt as part of a wider spread ... [this book] has much to recommend it, not least in its infectious enthusiasm for its theme.' - Times Literary Supplement`... much careful work has gone into both the highly articulate text and the carefully chosen illustrations ... presented with clarity and commitment.' - Antiquity`Michael Rice achieves his declared intention of creating the work as "a celebration of most ancient Egypt, the origins which appear to me to be without precedent or equal."' - The Lady` ... a thoughtful and original contribution to a neglected field.' - History Today
