As a lot of other people fascinated by Ancient Egypt I nearly never read anything about pre-dinastic and prehistoric Egypt.
I remember a mummified corpse at the Egyptian Museum in Turin and something in a National Geographic documentary.
This is a well researched and nearly academic book about Egypt before the pharahos and I was fascinated by the explanations and the descriptions of the archaeological discoveries.
It's not an easy ready but it's surely a fascinating one.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
