Routledge The Book of the Kings of Egypt Vol. I - Dynasties I-XIX

This scholarly work by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge presents a comprehensive historical account of ancient Egyptian dynasties spanning from Dynasty I through Dynasty XIX. Budge, who served as Keeper of the British Museum's oriental antiquities department from 1894 to 1924, drew upon his extensive expeditions to Egypt and his vast collection of papyri, statues and artefacts to produce this authoritative study. Originally published as part of Routledge's academic catalogue, this revival edition preserves one of over 100 monographs Budge authored throughout his career. The work remains an essential reference for scholars, students and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian history, religion and civilisation, offering insights into the chronology, rulers and cultural developments of Egypt's earliest dynastic periods. This volume covers the foundational era of pharaonic Egypt, making it invaluable for understanding the origins and evolution of one of history's greatest civilisations.
