This third part is also a bit disappointing in terms of form. The chapters are not all logically arranged, I have the impression Romer is not giving a systematic exposition but sometimes limits himself to selected topics. And occasionally intriguing phrases pop up that are not further explained (such as evidence of brutality supposedly revealed by tombs found in Amarna, the capital of the "heretical" Pharaoh Akhenaten). But all that does not prevent this part from being chock full of interesting information. And, of course, the expertise of John Romer is beyond doubt.
