THE 



ANCIENT EGYPTIANS 



Illustrated 



An account of the Egyptians of the 

 unrecorded past as revealed by the investi- 

 gations of the anthropologist. The author 

 traces to their source the various streams 

 of alien immigrants which made their way 

 into the Nile valley, and correlates his facts 

 with the great racial movements in the 

 neighbouring continents. He shows how 

 the Egyptians inaugurated a higher civili- 

 sation — particularly in bringing the Stone 

 Age to a close and introducing the use of 

 metals. 



" This is a brilliant little book, illumina- 

 ting the whole subject of the history of 

 the human race since man assumed his 

 proper shape." — Manchester Guardian.
