Archaeological excavations at Sakkara, the necropolis of ancient Memphis, have uncovered important new evidence about Egyptian civilization in the first two dynasties 3200-2780 B.C.
The origins of the Egypt of the Pharaohs still remain obscure, but the new material discovered shows that the people of the Nile Valley at that remote period enjoyed a far higher degree of culture than has hitherto been recognized. Architecture and the arts had reached an excellence which was hardly surpassed when the flower of Pharaonic civilization was in bloom.
In Archaic Egypt the eminent Egyptologist Professor Emery has provided a broad survey of what we know, through these discoveries, of the cultural achievements of the great people who lived on the banks of the Nile nearly five thousand years ago. While in no sense a textbook, his stimulating account will appeal equally to the student and to the general reader.
