In fact more of a synopsis of Ancient Egyptian history and culture, arranged by reference to the various historical sites, and illustrated with very clear maps.  See the description (below) from the dustwrapper flap.

Reprinted in 2000, but now out of print, and in view of the book’s size and high production standards, very unlikely to be reprinted in these straitened times.
