Journey to Egypt - James A. Gunn

The ancient Egyptians developed an extraordinary culture that produced some of the world's most outstanding art and architecture. Because of its location, it has long been a crossroads between Africa and Europe exerting its influence on both continents. It is a culture that relies on the rising and falling of the Nile River, a lush verdant ribbon of life next to the Sahara Desert, one of the hottest and driest regions on earth. Mr. Gunn journeys from pyramids and temples to monasteries and deserts, to the present as well as to the biblical past in his personal journey through the Land of the Pharaohs, The Desert, and The Nile.
