Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt examines the era traditionally associated with the great pyramid-building pharaohs of the Third through Sixth Dynasties. It explains royal ideology, central administration, religious beliefs and the labour and resources required to construct monumental complexes at Saqqara and Giza. The book also considers elite tombs, everyday society and the political and environmental pressures that contributed to the breakdown of central authority at the period’s end.
