"Your Introduction to Ancient Egypt" was published in National Geographic in May 1965 to accompany the "Nile Valley, Land of the Pharaohs" map and the article "Yankee Cruises the Storied Nile." The four-panel text introduces you to Egypt and its history, with information about how the Niles annual flooding nurtures the land, the first Pharaoh, the Egyptian dynasties, and the fall of this great civilization. It also includes a map index for the "Nile Valley, Land of the Pharaohs" map.
