Product Description

The government of Egypt banned Inside Egypt in 2008–the first time a book on Egyptian politics had been banned in the country in decades–and quickly rescinded it after the media firestorm that followed.
 
Most experts believe that in the next year or so, Hosni Mubarak will step down and that his son, Gamal is the favorite to take the reins. In Inside Egypt, John Bradley examines the junctions of Egyptian politics and society as they slowly disintegrate under the twin pressures of a ruthless military dictatorship at home and a flawed Middle East policy in Washington.

How long did people have to go to school to become a scribe in Ancient Egypt?

I am doing an Ancient Egypt project in school, and I think it is seven years, but I am getting mixed results from my Internet sources. Does anyone know?


18K Egyptian Jewelry Pendants – Winged Ramsis II

Product Description
One measure of Egypt’s prosperity is the amount of temple building the kings could afford to carry out, and on that basis the reign of Ramses II is the most notable in Egyptian history, even making allowance for its great length. It was that, combined with his prowess in war as depicted in the temples, that led the Egyptologists of the 19th century to dub him “the Great,” and that, in effect, is how his subjects and posterity viewed him; to them he was the king par excellence. Nine kings of the 20th dynasty called themselves by his name; even in the period of decline that followed, it was an honour to be able to claim descent from him, and his subjects called him by the affectionate abbreviation Sese.

Egypt’s Got the Lot!

Egypt really does have some wonders. From the Pyramids to the River Nile; from the Valley of the Kings to diving at Sharm El Sheikh. And always, the guarantee of sun!  Holidays in Egypt offer something for everyone. If you like culture, then Egypt has got it for you. The Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings – all magnificent ancient wonders that now welcome tourists from around the world. Steeped in history, there is nothing like seeing these marvels at first hand for yourself. If you want a cruise, then Egypt has got it for you. Although you won’t see all 4,135 miles of the River Nile – the world’s longest river – you will see enough to show you why this river has been so important to the population of North Africa for centuries. You can marvel at the river itself, and all the sights too. You can visit Luxor and visit the Valleys of the Kings and Queens, as well as seeing the Pyramids and the treasures of King Tutankhamun. If you want diving, then Egypt has got it for you. One of the best diving centres in the area is at Sharm El Sheikh, now a popular holiday destination. You can dive and sea exotic sea creatures and wrecks on the bottom, or, if you prefer to stay on the surface, take a glass-bottomed boat trip and enjoy the view from there! If you want the local culture, then Egypt has got it for you. Visiting the capital Cairo will give you a taste of Egyptian culture, both modern and past. Try the famous markets and visit churches and mosques in the city, and just 15 miles away is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, and a collection of pyramids. Egypt has got the lot: culture, sights, sea, activities, cruises, and, of course, the sun in abundance!
