The trip changed her life. A best seller of Victorian travel when published in 1877, A Thousand Miles Up the Nile has enthralled readers for more than a century and a quarter.Edwards' prodigious knowledge and research of ancient Egypt, Egyptian gods, pharaohs, and classical history places her travels in context for you.

Her understanding of music, poetry, and art all combine in A Thousand Miles.The book is a symphony of love for time and place. It begins quietly, swells to heights, then is relieved by minute details and humor. She educates the reader and then loses herself in rapturous descriptions of life on the Nile.On her return, she spent two years writing this book and was the driving force in the founding of the Egypt Exploration Fund. This superb account of Egypt in the 19th century will remain a classic for years to come. Read more

Egyptian society has undergone dramatic changes in recent years, yet tradition and deeply conservative views prevail. Culture Smart! Egypt explores the codes and paradoxes of Egyptian life, outlines the country's history, and shows the forces that have shaped its sensibility. It explains the key values and attitudes, guides you through local customs and traditions, and opens a window into the private lives of Egyptians and offers advice on how to get a long with them and how to be a good guest. Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

Egypt is of course an ancient land, most famous for the pyramids, sphinx and mighty pharaohs who presumably were responsible for creating these world famous wonders. However, as this book will show that some of these achievements, regarded as being among the most difficult ever made by humanity, were not the product of the dynastic Egyptians. This simple logic behind this conclusion is that there are clear signs of ancient machining technology in some of the pyramids and other structures, capabilities far beyond the bronze tools of the pharaohs.And the sheer size of some of the stones, and the great distances that they were moved from quarries hundreds of miles from their present locations would be a challenge even in the 21st century. We have to put aside the idea that large groups of slaves did any of this work; because only the finest of expert craftsmen, using what would be state of the art technology to some degree even to this day were responsible.Conventional archaeology stresses that the finest of the monuments date from less than 5000 years ago, but this book will show you that the history of ancient Egypt stretches much farther back in time.All claims are backed up by the modern research of geologists, engineers, master craftsmen and the oral traditions from thousands of years ago that thankfully are still with us today.
