Thrilling images combined with original text describe the myriad facets of a colorful and surprising land which the Ancients appropriately called "The Red and the Black," evoking the sharp contrast between the red of the scorching desert wastes and the black silt left by the flooding Nile. Within the pages of this book is an enthralling journey through a country with enduring appeal, savoring the complexity, mystery, and formidable wealth of the land of the pharaohs.--From publisher description. 700 1 $a Re, Maurizio. 700 1 $a Davenport, Neil Frazer. $4 trl 941 $a 1 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20151121011850.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98A4BAB4901D11E5A6A17EBFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
