This first volume, abundantly illustrated on the Pharaonic period, from the fourth millennium BC to the end of the Middle Kingdom (18th century BC), sets out the historical and ideological frameworks in which Egyptian civilization developed and the changes it underwent, while emphasizing artistic creation in all its variety (architecture, bas-relief, statuary, furniture, wall painting, jewelry, literature, and music). From the pyramids of Giza and Saqqara to the temples of Elephantine, from the Palette of Narmer to the reliefs of the temple of Amun-Re of Karnak, from the Seated Scribe or Senebtisi’s necklace, the masterpieces are brought to light thanks to high-quality images, some of which have been specially made for the work. Written by a multidisciplinary and international team, this unique synthesis will bring to the attention of teachers, researchers, curators, but also a wide audience of amateurs, the discoveries and current studies on the subject. The following volumes will be dedicated respectively to the New Kingdom (volume II) and Egypt from the first millennium before our era until the Roman period (volume III).
