Summary: "Histoire de la civilisation égyptienne des origines à la conquête d'Alexandre" by Gustave Jequier is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the development of Egyptian civilization from its earliest origins until the arrival of Alexander the Great, emphasizing its influence on subsequent cultures. It aims to counter the myth of an unchanging Egypt, showcasing its dynamic history and cultural evolution. The opening of the book provides a preface that addresses a common misconception about ancient Egypt as a stagnant civilization. Jequier argues that the perception of Egypt as isolated and unchanged is based on a lack of scholarly understanding, particularly before the decipherment of hieroglyphs. He sets the groundwork for exploring the significant milestones in Egyptian civilization, including advances in arts, industries, and cultural practices. The author stresses the importance of recognizing Egypt's contributions to the broader development of ancient civilizations, laying the foundation for a detailed study of its history and culture that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
