Ancient Roman orator Cicero referred to Herodotus as “the father of history.” The Greek creator used to be the first writer to systematically investigate and analyze historic events in great detail. “An Account of Egypt” is a recollection of the great Greek’s epic journey through the Nile River Kingdom. Within these pages, you’ll find the customs, events, culture, rituals, and day-to-day life that captured and intrigued his curious and nimble mind. Written within the fifth century BC, Herodotus’s richly descriptive and captivating account of life in ancient Egpyt reads like a lengthy missive from over again and place. It’s an exotic, intoxicating, spellbinding, and haunting ode to a country of ancient splendour and the individuals who lived there.

The 1890 translation by English scholar George Campbell Macaulay is the definitive version of Herodotus’s classic.
Herodotus’s prose will also be dense and his sentences will also be wordy and complex, however the penetrating insights within reward the diligent reader tenfold. This book has survived thousands of years for a reason. Each and every subsequent generation delights in discovering for the first time the ancient Egyptian system of governance, its history, religious beliefs, and day-to-day routines. The customs and ways of an ancient and unique people have been preserved and handed down to posterity courtesy of Herodotus’s unwavering hand and clear vision.
