Routledge A History of Egypt - Priest-Kings to Cleopatra VII Vol. VI

This volume completes Sir E. A. Wallis Budge's monumental historical survey, covering Egypt from the Priest-Kings through the Tanite and Nubian periods to the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 B.C. Budge, Keeper of the British Museum's oriental antiquities department from 1894 to 1924, drew on decades of fieldwork and acquisition of thousands of papyri, statues and artefacts to construct this authoritative account. First published as part of Routledge's foundational Revivals series, this scholarly work remains essential reading for understanding late pharaonic Egypt. The final volume synthesises Budge's unparalleled expertise in Egyptian religion, governance and material culture during a transformative era when external powers increasingly shaped the Nile Valley's destiny. Historians, Egyptologists and students of ancient civilisation will find this comprehensive treatment indispensable for tracing Egypt's trajectory from indigenous rule to Ptolemaic dominion.
