The atlas is divided into two sections: "The History of the Pharaohs" tells the story of Egypt from the unification of the country in about 2920 BCE to the coming of the Romans almost 3,000 years later. Sections discuss the power of the pharaoh, burial customs, the Egyptian army, and women in Egypt. "A Journey Down the Nile" describes the Egyptian landscape by following the course of the Nile River. Among the areas presented are Lower Nubia, Thebes, and Memphis.
