5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on ancient Egyptian urban life + burial practices,
By A Customer
This review is from: City of the Dead: Thebes in Egypt (British Museum Publications) (Hardcover)
Yet again Prof. Manniche manages to poduce an excellent work. This book makes an excellent addition to Musicians and Musical Instruments in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Egyptian Herbal, and Sacred Luxuries. I am anxious to get a copy of Sexual Life in Ancient Egypt. City of the Dead is oriented toward the student or professional archaeologist. There are plenty of interesting facts that would intrigue the armchair historian as well. I recommend this book and all of the other works this author has created.

great reference on Thebes,

This review is from: City of the Dead: Thebes in Egypt (British Museum Publications) (Hardcover)
Writing in a clear comprehensive style, the author relates the history of Thebes, giving much detailed information about its tombs and their decoration. She also tells the story of the rediscovery of those tombs and briefly describes the early travelers' journeys to the Theban area. Illustrated with black and white photographs and line drawings, including many unpublished until now, this book is a fascinating and useful source for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt.
