Archibald Henry Sayce was an expert on the ancient Near East, and his work, The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia is an expansive history of these two ancient religions.

From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it’s no wonder that today’s world has so many Egyptologists.
