Ancient Records of Egypt Volume I

James Henry Breasted held the first chair in Egyptology and Oriental History in the United States and was founder of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago. Ancient Records of Egypt, Volumes 1 to 5, is a complete account of all existing original Egyptian records, translated from the original hieroglyphics into English. Breasted undertook this incredible task by travelling to all the historical sites in Egypt and the world's museums. There, he copied and translated all surviving Egyptian records, be they from stone, papyrus or leather artefacts. In this manner, Breasted provided an unparalleled insight in to the historical, cultural, racial and religious events of ancient Egyptian history, directly from the original sources. This is a hand compiled "clean" copy, and contains none of the OCR or "annotation" disfigurements of other reproductions.
