It provides an excellent companion to The Prehistory of Egypt by Beatrix Midant-Reynes. The writing is accessible and I enjoyed the first reading and even more the second. It is super how he brings in early Egyptian ties to Palestine, the Levant and Mesopotamia. I wish he would have tackled the significance of the fascinating rock art of the Eastern Desert, as well as the huge buried piece of shaped sandstone and cattle tumuli at Nabta Playa. This is a wonderful book and I recommend it.Physics Prof and Egypt Fan ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars *by W***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2014* great ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Post-processual pedantry *by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2012* This book collects a good deal of intelligible and interesting descriptive information on the archaeology of "pre-dynastic" Egypt. However, the discursive interpretive parts of the writing are "accessible" only in the sense that most of the words (not to include the surfeit of French words and phrases, which apparently represent concepts so exaltedly esoteric as to be untranslatable) can be found in a dictionary of the English language. Interesting book, but with some calculated abstruseness, at times verging on opacity suggestive of smugness. [Postscript: In later reading David O'Connor's "Abydos", I find my criticism of Wengrow's book vindicated by O'Connor's own comments (p. 137) on "The Archaeology of Early Egypt" (and other books of similar vintage, with similarly premature theorizing): "Grand theories...are proposed about early culture and kingship in Egypt, but are based on heterogeneous and random archaeological data.... So far, these data are an inadequate foundation for the complex speculations built upon them, for the evidence still has substantial ambiguities and gaps." Where O'Connor politely says "grand", I will say "grandiose".] ## Frequently Bought Together - The Archaeology of Early Egypt: Social Transformations in North-East Africa, 10,000 to 2,650 BC: Social Transformations in North-East Africa, c.10,000 to 2,650 BC (Cambridge World Archaeology) - What Makes Civilization?: The Ancient Near East and the Future of the West --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/183435020-the-archaeology-of-early-egypt-social-transformations-in-north-east](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/183435020-the-archaeology-of-early-egypt-social-transformations-in-north-east) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
