| An account of the Egyptians of the            |
| unrecorded past as revealed by the            |
| investigations of the anthropologist.  The     |
| author traces to their source the various     |
| streams of alien immigrants which made their  |
| way into the Nile valley, and correlates his  |
| facts with the great racial movements in the  |
| neighbouring continents.  He shows how the     |
| Egyptians inaugurated a higher                |
| civilisation--particularly in bringing the    |
| Stone Age to a close and introducing the use  |
| of metals.                                    |
