Egypt and Nubia: Gifts of the Desert originates in an international colloquium of the same name held in the British Museum in 1998. It comprises eighteen papers, written by leading scholars, each of whom explores an aspect of the use and occupation of the deserts lying to the east and west of the Nile Valley by the ancient Egyptians and Nubians and their prehistoric ancestors. Exploding the old myth that Egypt was simply the 'Gift of the Nile' and illuminating the wider environment, this volume represents a new understanding of how these deserts have been perceived and exploited through time.
