Beschreibung

In The Archaeology of Early Egypt, published in 2006, David Wengrow provides an interpretation of the emergence of farming economies and the dynastic state c. 10,000-2,650 BC. His conclusions extend beyond Egypt to consider the relationship between bureaucracy, sacrifice and the nature of state power.
