500			_aWritten by one of the most respected Egyptologists ever known, this remarkable work is at the same time original research in a previously neglected area of study, an account of an archeological survey and its methods, and a fascinating and illuminating discourse on the policies of the region of the time. No work or writer has addressed the issues of Egyptian ambition and the events of which took place in Palestine so cogently. Palestine, a fought-over land even at that time, inhabited by various tribal groups as it was, its history and its archeological remains are discussed "on the spot," both in relation to the finds of the expeditions, known historical events, and accounts taken from the Bible, particularly the accounts of Exodus.
