520    Drawing on a lifetime of research, John Romer chronicles 
       the history of Ancient Egypt from the building of the 
       Great Pyramid through the rise and fall of the Middle 
       Kingdom: a peak of Pharaonic culture and the period when 
       writing first flourished. Through extensive research over 
       many decades of work, reveals how the grand narratives of 
       19th and 20th century Egyptologists have misled us by 
       portraying a culture of cruel monarchs and chronic war. 
       Instead, based in part on discoveries of the past two 
       decades, this extraordinary account shows what we can 
       really learn from the remaining architecture, objects, and
       writing: a history based on physical reality.
