Product Description
Make the ancient world come alive!
With this captivating narrative, you will explore all that made Egypt famous: her powerful pharaohs; the mystery of her hieroglyphs; her unique art, pervading religion, and towering pyramids.
But you will also discover the stories of her neighbors, far and near, as you read about the secrets of a chalk horse and giant stones in Great Britain, the puzzle of a vanished people in the Indus Valley, the charging bull that the Ancient Minoans could not leap over, why writing on turtle shells assured a lasting dynasty in Ancient China, and much more.
Ancient Egypt and Her Neighbors
- gives your child a wonderful panorama of the ancient world with its diverse cultures and civilizations.
- agrees with the Biblical account of creation and the beginning of man. You will find no evolutionary comments or allusions to millions of years and savage humans.
- brings a personal element to history by telling the stories of real people to whom your child can relate.
- is appropriate and interesting for young and old. This title is recommended as the family history spine book for the Genesis through Deuteronomy and Ancient Egypt module in the SCM Curriculum Guide (replacing the out-of-print Oxford book).
- supports the worship of the one true God and a Biblical worldview. The author clearly explains the beliefs of ancient civilizations but does not sensationalize or condone them.
- lays a solid foundation and shows how fascinating world history can be!
Make the ancient world come alive! Spend some time with Ancient Egypt and Her Neighbors!

So far we are enjoying it. It’s so helpful to have something that goes along with the curriculum. I was usually able to find supplemental material at the library but it was time consuming and not always the “fit” I wanted. Now that we are living overseas, that is not an option so it’s great to have this book!
Any chance books like this good be in Kindle format in the future? The PDF is difficult to read on our eReader. This is not as important with the books that I read (i.e. the history handbook) but my 6-year-old daughter wants to read this herself. Knowing how she has read and re-read your other materials, I know she would eat this up, however she can’t read the PDF well enough – the font is too small and, if we zoom in, then it is too difficult for her to navigate. We would love to see your electronic materials become more kid-friendly! (The 4 stars, instead of 5, are simply because we are limited to make this a read-aloud.)
