    The origins of ancient Egyptian civilization can be traced back to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE. This pivotal event, credited to the legendary Pharaoh Narmer (also known as Menes), set the stage for one of the most enduring and influential cultures in human history. The unification marked the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period, a time when Egypt's first pharaohs established the framework for the country’s political, religious, and social systems. 
The Early Dynastic Period laid the foundation for the powerful centralized government that would come to define Egypt. The kings of this era solidified their authority by consolidating control over both the Upper and Lower Nile Valleys, establishing cities and building monumental architecture, such as the earliest royal tombs. This period was characterized by the development of hieroglyphic writing, which enabled the preservation of royal decrees, religious texts, and monumental inscriptions. 
As Egypt's civilization evolved, it entered the Old Kingdom period, often referred to as the "Age of the Pyramids." During this time, Egypt reached its peak in terms of architectural achievements, most notably the construction of the Great Pyramids at Giza. The Old Kingdom saw the consolidation of the pharaohs’ divine status as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The power of the pharaohs was reinforced by their role in overseeing monumental construction projects and religious rituals that were believed to sustain cosmic order.

    Wonderstruck - How Wonder and...

    Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. 
 
 
 
Taking inspiration from Descartes's portrayal of wonder as "that sudden surprise of the soul," this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.
