Great Read

I really love this book. I'm a history bug, particularly interested in this kind of topic - the great civilizations of the past. Found the information very complete and well presented and learned a lot from it. One question though, with all the Empires covered in this book from Aztec to Mongol, from Greek to Chinese, there is no listing for the Phaorohs of ancient Egypt. I found this puzzeling. Otherwise, top notch interesting read.
