Abstract: Aldred writes an overview of Egypt from
Paleolithic times up through the Old Kingdom. He writes of the material culture
and of the small bit of history that can be learned from the Egyptian texts.
Aldred discusses the architecture of Dynasties III-VI (mostly the pyramids and
mastabas) and the art and furniture found in them. Sculpture from these same
dynasties is also discussed. The emphasis is on royalty and the elite rather
than the lower classes.
