------------------------------------------------- | | | Harper's Library of Living Thought | | | |-----------------------------------------------| | | | By Prof. G. ELLIOT SMITH | | | | THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS | | | | _Illustrated_ | | | | | | An account of the Egyptians of the | | unrecorded past as revealed by the | | investigations of the anthropologist. The | | author traces to their source the various | | streams of alien immigrants which made their | | way into the Nile valley, and correlates his | | facts with the great racial movements in the | | neighbouring continents. He shows how the | | Egyptians inaugurated a higher | | civilisation--particularly in bringing the | | Stone Age to a close and introducing the use | | of metals. | | | | "This is a brilliant little book, | | illuminating the whole subject of the | | history of the human race since man assumed | | his proper shape."--_Manchester Guardian._ | | | -------------------------------------------------
