Covers twenty-six dynasties of Egypt spanning more than three millennia: from ca 3050 BC to 525 BC. Beginning with the earliest known official annals of Egypt, the Palermo Stone, this title catalogs the realm's official activities, including royal succession, temple construction, property distribution, and foreign conquest.

Originally published in 1906-1907, this is the first complete collection, in paperback, of historical source documents available at the turn of the 20th century, translated by James Henry Breasted.
