Now accessible to the public once again after 130 years, this is a perfect edition of the ultra-rare handmade photo book by the man who founded the science of Egyptology, W. M. Flinders Petrie. The author, acknowledged as the ‘father of Egyptology’ and holder of the first Chair of Egyptology in the United Kingdom, created this book to support his conclusion that Caucasians founded the civilization of Ancient Egypt, which he believed collapsed after being overwhelmed by Semitic and African influences from outside.
