Egypt (Architecture of the World, 4)

The architecture of the pharaohs represents some of the most impressive creative work ever produced in Egyptian art and yet it has never been completely assessed. This volume is a singularly complete record of the architecture of the pharaohs ranging from 3000 BC to the Egyptian style of today, from the Sudan to the Mediterranean, and from simple clay brick buildings to monumental pyramids. Recent research and evocative pictures blend to create a new view on the oldest architecture in the world - a very special kind of journey through Egypt.
