Portraying 4000 years of history in Egypt through its artistic achievements, and fascinated by the question of how times shape their rulers, the distinguished photographer Werner Forman demonstrates, for the first time in visual terms, the threads that link Ancient Egypt under the Pharoahs, the centuries of Greco-Roman rule under the Caesers, and the first epochs of Islam in Egypt under Fatimid, Mameluk and Ottoman rule. Scholarly and challenging texts by leading experts in this field set the images in context.
