The subtitle of this book regarding "Our Three Thousand Year Obsession" with Egypt raises the irritating question: Who are "we"? Author Bob Brier encourages the reader to identify with Roman emperors and a Renaissance pope, as well as Napoleon and his team of scholars. Brier himself is a popularizing Egyptologist, and this book leverages his personal collection of Egyptophilic consumer artifacts along with research into the historical contexts of the various Egyptian "revivals"
