History of Egypt From 330 B.C. To the Present Time, Volume 12 (of 12)

Series and Scope:

• This book is the tenth volume in a larger twelve-volume set chronicling Egyptian history.
• The specific focus of volume 10 is on the period from 330 BC to a yet-to-be-determined point in history (since the publication date is unknown).

Potential Content:

Since the exact timeframe covered by volume 10 is uncertain, here are some possible historical periods it might explore:

• The Hellenistic Period (332 BC – 30 BC): This era follows the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great and the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a Greek lineage. It marked a period of cultural exchange and influence.
• Roman Egypt (30 BC – 641 AD): Following the defeat of Cleopatra VII, Egypt became a Roman province. The book might delve into Roman administration, social changes, and the rise of Christianity.
• Early Islamic Egypt (641 – 1250 AD): The Arab conquest of Egypt in 641 AD ushered in a new era. The book could explore the spread of Islam, the rise of Muslim dynasties, and the development of Islamic art and architecture.
