Maps of Ancient Egypt


New website for ancient Egyptian maps and structures plans.

Pictures: Djoser Step Pyramid's Plan

Djoser extended and re-extended his stone mastaba until
it became an imposing stairway
(the famous Step Pyramid) that would allow the
dead king to ascend to the sky. Shafts beneath
the original mastaba were provided for
lesser royal burials.

Books I have read...

What I love about this book is that it takes you directly from the minute ancient Egypt had its first Pharaoh till the very end of the Pharaonic system.

However, though it spots important female public figures in ancient Egypt like Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, it pretty much stops there. But this is understandable, because the book is basically about male Pharaohs.

You can find more information or purchase the book here. I guess it costs around 20~30 Dollars.

This books is pretty much like the Chronicle of the Pharaohs book, except for that this one is dedicated to female pharaohs and queens of ancient Egypt.

If you get this book and the previous one you will find out that they have so much in common, they both capitalize on important events in the ancient Two Lands and notable characters.

Find out more about this book or purchase it here, it costs around $19.39 US.
