- Sidebotham (classical archaeology and ancient history, U. of Delaware) et al. detail the culture and history of the ancient people of Egypt's Eastern Desert, which they referred to as the Red Land. Along with photos and other illustrations, they provide descriptions based on archaeological findings about the history, geography, climate, people, regions, stone quarries, temples and shrines, trade, burial practice, mining, lifestyle, and roads of the area. The book is based on 20 years of fieldwork conducted by the authors, and their archaeological surveys are also discussed. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
