A short book great review of Egypt history!

The one thing that is constant that I have learned for captivating history and it is that historians never agree and that is true with beginning of the dynastic period. In Egypt. This is when Egypt was in its infancy.then came the time when they become a toddler and get bigger and have kings and queens in the kingdoms, Which includes the old, the middle in the new kingdom during the time the Hecks were thought to have been taken over by force. Recently though they found evidence that may have not been how it happened at all. The next rule of note is the ending over of all things a hippopotamus pond. The Gyptian king at that time with King Amos took over. I could go on and on giving highlights of every chapter, But that will not fill in all the details. Which makes Egypt history of very interesting story and a book I highly recommend. The narrator is a clear reader, but I must say, the non-emotional. He wasn’t unpleasant to listen to though and for an educational history book is better than I’ve heard. If you love history you’ll love this book I thought it was a short but very interesting listen. Please forgive any grammatical or punctuation or errors as I am blind and dictate most of my review. All opinions are my own though and I think this was an awesome book.
