Pictorial Guides

Picture/Coffee table books

When the Pyramids Were Built
Egypt: World of the Pharaohs

There are dozens more, of course. And, if you aren’t as dedicated a collector as I am, the library has shelves full of the things to browse through.

You might, of course, be more interested in the actual history and reference books.
