Ancient Records of Egypt

Ancient Records of Egypt is the 5-volume work by James Henry Breasted in 1905–06. It was part of a proposed three-part set of translations of original texts by different authors, which at the time were difficult to find::History of Egypt–(five volumes):History of Assyria–(two volumes):History of Mesopotamia

Only the first two collections -- those from Egypt and Assyria -- were published.
