The first deep impression of Egypt was because I watched a movie called "Cleopatra", Caesar came from afar, Cleopatra VII dedicated his life to him, and a magnificent life lasted for a long time.
In fact, the story about Egypt is much more than that, Jason. Thompson's "7,000 Years of Egypt" can help us better understand this once glorious country.
The book begins with a chronology of Egypt's historical dynasties, and by comparing this chronological list, the reader can understand the historical development of Egypt chapter by chapter.
For example, during the great power of Rome, when they crossed the sea to conquer Egypt, Caesar, Antony, and Octavian played different roles.
But no matter who conquered whom and who occupied whom, the Egyptian civilization and the Roman civilization were constantly influencing and promoting each other in the process of merging with each other, and at the same time, they also brought a huge boost to the whole of Europe.
Egypt is home to the Nile, the world's longest river, and the Sahara Desert, the world's largest desert, where early human civilization was born.
The book starts with the gift of the Nile, and focuses on the main line of politics, presenting historical knowledge in terms of society, culture, religion, and economy simultaneously, so that we can have a deeper understanding of the past and present life of this mysterious country.
For example, when the king was alive, he was pampered and served by a group of people, and he still hoped that he could enjoy such treatment when he died, so someone was martyred.
However, the burial of Egypt ended at the end of the First Dynasty and was replaced by a small humanoid statue of Xia Boyi, while in China there were still burials in the Ming Dynasty.
The end of human burial is due to the appearance of the Book of the Dead during the Middle Kingdom, which is actually a guide to the journey to eternal life, which depicts how to activate the magic spell of Xia Boyi.
Only when the spirit of the superior can be placed, the physical body of the people at the bottom can survive, and the background color of civilization is the continuous progress of human thought, solving one problem after another in reality.
Finally, the journey of human civilization spanning 7,000 years, on the pyramid, the sky connects the ancient and modern, the banks of the Nile, and the overlapping banks of time and space. In these long years of time and space, the Egyptians have written a monumental answer sheet with their tenacity, intelligence and hard work, which is worthy of being remembered and collected.
The author of "7000 Years of Egypt" uses twenty-one chapters to tell us about a country full of rich civilization, which is rare and precious.
