Peeps at Many Lands: Ancient Egypt by James Baikie is a journey through Egypt and a sensitive and comprehensive look at Egypt's geography and people. Excerpt: "If we were asked to name the most interesting country in the world, I suppose that most people would say Palestine—not because there is anything so very wonderful in the land itself, but because of all the great things that have happened there, and above all because of its having been the home of our Lord. But after Palestine, I think that Egypt would come next. For one thing, it is linked very closely to Palestine by all those beautiful stories of the Old Testament, which tell us of Joseph, the slave boy who became Viceroy of Egypt; of Moses, the Hebrew child who became a Prince of Pharaoh's household; and of the wonderful exodus of the Children of Israel."

One of the most profound mysteries of the world towers above the desert sands of Egyptthe Great Pyramid. Who built this amazing monument and why? When was the work completed? This book assembles information from numerous sources, including spiritual, mathematical, astronomical, astrological and religious areas. Reveals that no evidence exists for the Great Pyramid having ever been a tomb, despite the constant reference for it in textbooks. Wake claims the pyramid was a monument of Sabaism (an early religious cult) and of serpent worship. The serpent was immensely important in early Egyptian religion and mythology, but only Wake seems to have drawn a connection between the serpent and the Great Pyramid.

The name Ramses II evokes the epitome of ancient Egypt. But why was he the final ruler of the New Kingdom? And what was it that made him pursue peace when such treaties didn�t exist? The life of Ramses II offers some particularly unique intrigues that appear in his many campaigns throughout the ancient world. Santillian and van Basten offer an expansive account of the many contributions Ramses II offered in his unusually long and active life, including leaving a legacy of being ancient Egypt�s most prolific builder of monuments and temples, as he outlived most of his would-be heirs.
