Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Daily Life Through History (1999)
"Explore the daily lives of ordinary people in ancient Egypt (3000 to 30 B.C.E.) through reconstructions based on the hieroglyphic inscriptions, paintings from tombs, and scenes from the temple walls of the people themselves. Students can use this up-to-date resource on the subject to examine the history of one of our oldest civilizations. Detailed descriptions of its religion, its unusual form of government, the manner of ancient work and play, its magnificent art, the reasons for its military domination, and its intellectual accomplishments are included to help recreate the time period. Modern readers will be surprised to find fundamental similarities between our lives today and the lives of these ancient peoples living over 4,000 years ago."--Jacket.

Each chapter dealt with a different aspect of ancient Egypt, from their technology to religion and society down to the games their children played and each chapter gave you a feel for what life was like for them, how often very different from us they were and yet how similar.
The writing in the book is simple enough that it would definitely be a good one for young students studying ancient history but detailed and engaging enough that adult fans of history can get just as much if not more out of it. Well worth the read. ( )
