About this title: The word Pharaoh originally meant "the great house" or "palace of the King". Gradually it came to represent the king himself. This full-color, illustrated history of the Pharaoh explores three thousand years of ancient Egyptian civilization, including information about their gods and religious rituals; their tombs, temples, and treasures; the role of the Pharaohs and their palaces; and the importance of the river Nile. Detailed maps spotlight ancient religious sites and modern cities, and an examination of hieroglyphics provides a complete chronology of the Book of the Dead.
