Any good books about Egypt? I was thinking about the pyramids

For fiction there's just it's mythology

If no one here can recommend an up to date non-fiction, maybe /hist/ can help you out.

I've been watching youtubes on Gobekli Tepe and Graham Hancock quoted a Greek who said something like "Egypt mirrors the heavens"

Thank you both. Lots of stuff to chew on here.

If you're into fantasy apparently Michael Johnston's 'Soleri' is supposed to be like an Egyptian Game of Thrones. Just saw it on a website today so I figured I'd mention it.

if you can deal with the relentless buttfucking, there's Norman Mailer's "Ancient Evenings".

if you actually like the relentless buttfucking, there's "The Western Lands" by William Burroughs.

t. Someone who doesn't know about Egyptian literature.

There are a handful of literary works that are not mythological in nature that have survived. Some of which are quite interesting, like Sinuhe.
