Buyer-Focused Description When Egypt Ruled the East brings together ancient Egyptian history, religion and art in a richly illustrated volume by George Steindorff and Keith C. Seele. This 1942 first edition, second impression, published by the University of Chicago Press, features distinctive cream and reddish-brown pictorial cloth boards with an Egyptian marsh scene extending across the binding. The seventeen chapters trace Egypt’s early kingdoms, the Hyksos, the rise of its empire and the reigns of rulers including Thutmose III, Akhnaton and Tutankhamun. Alongside conquest and royal succession, the authors explore hieroglyphs, government, religious beliefs and Egyptian art. An outline of Egyptian history and an index provide reference support. Black-and-white photographs and drawings depict sculpture, monuments, paintings and archaeological objects, beginning with a frontispiece of Thutmose III. The illustration list identifies the cover scene as fowling and fishing in the marshes from the Tomb of Menna at Thebes. With its decorative cloth binding and early publication date, this copy offers appeal for readers and collectors of historical Egyptology; its text reflects scholarship of the period.
