Roman emperors, Arab scholars, and early travelers were already drawn to and enchanted by the fascination of the land along the Nile. The pyramids of Giza, the temple-city of Karnak, or the Valley of the Kings with the grave of Tutankhamen even today maintain their extraordinary force of attraction. Across the centuries the high culture of the ancient Egyptians has retained its allure. This can certainly be attributed to their astounding architectural, artistic, and technological achievements as well as their high level of writing and literature. This beautifully illustrated hardback edition explores all the magic and mysteries of ancient Egypt that continue to fascinate us, in over 500 pages of full-color photographs and comprehensive text. It covers everything from architecture, sculpture and painting to everyday life, statecraft, society and religion. A wide, fascinating range of unusual possibilities is presented: from stylish energy wonders for everyday life and multifunctional systems of furniture to the natural cosmetics of the future. The book also offers an insight in the basic principles of eco-design.
