كتاب شيق جداً يتحدث عن العصر الفرعوني وما قبله باسلوب رائع .. قليل يوجد مترجمين كتب يالدرجة الكبيرة جداً من الاتقان.
وصف الكاتب حضارة وادي النيل على الرغم كان هناك أخطاء لا تغتفر من الكاتب والتي صحهها المترجمين ،ولكن الكتاب في مجمله جميل جدا وشيق وخصوصا للمبتدأين في دراسة التاريخ

Antik Mısır konusunda daha önce farklı kaynakları okumuş olanlar için mimari ve sanat konularındaki birkaç nokta dışında yeni bir bilgi sağlamıyor. Fakat özellikle Antik Mısır konusuyla ilgilenmeye yeni başlayanlar için genel resmi çok iyi veren bir kitap olmuş. Antik Mısır ile ilgilenmeye yeni başlayanlara tavsiye ederim. 4 puanı hakediyor.
Ancak 1 puanı da Türkçe çeviri ve editöryal hatalardan kırdım. Türkçe'de 2. baskısını yapan bir kitapta bu kadar fazla çeviri ve yazım hatası kabul edilemez. Çevirmenlerin Antik Mısır konusuyla ilgili hiç bir bilgilerinin olmadığı açıkça görülüyor. Bazı yerlerde çevirmenler İngilizce'deki kelimeleri arka arkaya dizip cümleyi okuyucunun anlamasını ummuşlar. O kadar anlamsız cümleler var ki, bazen kelimelerin İngilizce asıllarının ne olduğunu düşünüp oradan bir anlam çıkartmak zorunda kalınıyor. En azından 2. baskıda bu gibi hataların düzeltilmiş olması gerekirdi.

كتاب عام موجه خاصة لمن ليس لديه دراية بالحضارة الفرعونية وبحياة المصريين القدامى، جاء به أوجه عديدة من مناحي الحياة سواء الخاصة بالملوك أو بالمصري العادي لكنه أغفل العديد من الاشياء الجوهرية كدور الإله أنوبيس مثلا في الحياة الاخرى وفي
الخلود والتحنيط وكذلك تقديس الفراعنة لباستيت القطة المألهة تم اغفاله كلية بالاضافة الى عدم ذكر دور السحر والشعوذة في حماية المعابد او حتى في الملك
it's a good book for those who wants a general introduction about ancient Egyptian life and civilization however it does lack many important aspects such as some gods as anubis and bestet, also the role of magic in the royal life.

It gives an overview of the ancient Egypt civilization. Touches to many aspects such as state, religion, architecture, art, life of ancient Egyptians. It was a good read before my trip to Egypt. I learned basics of ancient Egypt civilization and thanks to it my tour was more meaningful.

UH OH! My sister and I are going to Egypt, so you'll now find my reading list here. This textbook is the first and best I read.

I have a little bias coming in to reviewing this little book, as I really enjoy the Chicago-based Egyptologist, Emily Teeter. This book, however, does not really do justice to the wealth of information this woman knows (and how she presents it in such a fascinating way, my god! It's fantastic!) If she were to present this in lecture format, I'm sure I would have enjoyed this far beyond what I usually do in reading Egyptology books (I am aways in love with every Egyptology book I read, so there's really no point in a review from me, as they're always going to be the same, save for a few that were written by nutters).

This was a great overview of the Egyptians that got me ready for my big trip. I definitely got a lot more out of the sites by this brief review.

This book has more important details about the egyptian culture than some of the most popular books written about Egypt.

لم يعد لائقًا طباعة الصور الملونة بالأسود والأبيض. وطباعة الخرائط بهذه الرداءة. ليس هناك أي داعي لطباعة الكتاب نفسه إذا لم تتوافر الإمكانيات

I thoroughly enjoyed the style of this book. The way the chapters were arranged, the chapter summaries, and the collection of footnotes and references at the end of the chapter rather than scattered throughout the text (so distracting). I learned a lot!

A good book for learning the very basic and most important aspects of Ancient Egypt, with straightforward explanations. But beware of some, although few, factual errors!

December 3, 2018Mısır tarihi ve uygarlığı hakkında belli başlı noktalara dair fikir edinebileceğiniz bir kitap. Çevirisi de gayet güzel, akıcı bir okuma üslubuna sahip. Tarih meraklılarına Mısır hakkında genel bir çerçeve çizmektedir. Ayrıca daha fazlasını öğrenmek isterseniz, her bölüm sonunda kaynakça da verilmektedir.
