Portraying 4,000 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 Pharaohs, the centuries of Graeco-Roman rule under the Caesars, and the first epochs of Islam in Egypt under Fatimid, Mameluk and Ottoman rule. With scholarly and challenging texts by leading experts in the field, "The Egyptians" is an unprecedented portrayal of a land that, for more than four millennia, has never ceased to fascinate.
