Description
Discover everyday life in ancient Egypt, from the end of the third millennium to the Greek occupation in 330 BC. This comprehensive guide presents a remarkably accurate picture of Egyptian society, exploring the roles and tasks assigned to each section of the community.
A wealth of archeological evidence is drawn upon to examine how people spent their leisure hours, dressed, ate and drank, used transportation, built and furnished homes, and engaged in various activities. The importance of religion in daily life is also thoroughly examined, including the social significance of temples, pyramids, and tombs.
Accompanying this vivid text are over 100 photographs and line drawings, providing a unique insight into ancient Egyptian life. This unabridged republication of an earlier edition includes a chronological summary, bibliography, and index for further reference.
