"Many museums displaying Egyptian antiquities exist throughout the world, and Cairo's Egyptian Museum, though not the oldest (built in 1902), houses the largest collection. Some 150,000 pieces are exhibited, and another 30,000 are held in the museum storerooms." "The book informs the reader of many of the masterpieces of ancient art present in the museum, and is a valuable guide for anyone wishing to explore its treasures. Starting with the Predynastic Period, showing relics such as decorated vases, flint knives and palettes, it proceeds to the Archaic Period, viewing the museum's oldest documents about the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, and its oldest royal statue."--BOOK JACKET.
