These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Peeps At Many Lands Ancient Egypt: If we were asked to name the most interesting country in the world, I suppose that most people would say Palestine-not because there is anything so very wonderful in the land itself, but because of all the great things that have happened there, and above all because of its having been the home of our Lord. ...These are the things which make this old land of Egypt so interesting to us all to-day; and I want to try to tell you about some of them, so that you may be able to have in your minds eye a real picture of the life of those long past days. ...If any foreigner were wanting to get an idea of our country, and to see how our people live, I suppose the first place that he would go to would be London, because it is the capital of the whole country, and its greatest city; and so, if we want to learn something about Egypt, and how people lived there in those far-off days, we must try to get to the capital of the country, and see what is to be seen there. ...Several days of steady sailing carry us past many towns that cluster near the river, past one ruined city, falling into mere heaps of stone and brick, which our pilot tells us was once the capital of a wicked King who tried to cast down all the old gods of Egypt, and to set up a new god of his own; and at last we see, far ahead of us, a huge cluster of buildings on both sides of the river, which marks a city greater than we have ever seen. ...Of course the people could not all be scribes; but an Egyptian who had sons was never so proud as when he could get one of them into a scribes position, even though the young man might look down upon his old father and his brothers, toiling on the land or serving in the army.
