In a unique approach, the Art and Civilization of Ancient Egypt reproduces thirteen key words of Egyptian art and a host of other artifacts to explore and explain the civilization that produced them. Beginning with the unification of Egypt into a single kingdom, as portrayed on the Narmer Palette in 3100 B. C., subsequent chapter headings are: The Pyramid Builders, Gods and Goddesses, Death and the Afterlife, Ruling Egypt, Daily Life, Entertainment, Art, Science and Trade, and Writing and Literature.
