This page is dedicated to book worms. It includes recommended books on Ancient Egypt and reviews on the latest books. Please see the list below. There are a huge number of books available on ancient Egypt and more being added on an almost daily basis. It can, therefore be difficult to find suitable titles. The following list is a small selection available, and could be useful to anyone who wants to do some reading before a visit to Egypt or just a starting point for anyone beginning to suty any aspect of ancient Egyptian history and culture. Most of the books are still in print and should be available from bookshops or libraries and there are of course many other titles available which you might find yourself. If you do find any and would like to recommend them, please email us at info @ maes.org.uk Two of our Society members have written books. Fighting Pharaohs; Weapons and Warfare in Ancient Egypt and The Columns of Egypt written by Bob Partridge and Peter Phillips respectively. These are published by Peartree Publications. For more information on Peartree please contact AEPL @ maes.org.uk. Judith Corbelli has also written a Shire Book on The Art of Death in Graeco-Roman Egypt.
