The How we Know About series explores past civilizations with an emphasis on the archaeological record. In The Egyptians, each double-page spread looks at an important part of the ancient Egyptian way of life and illustrates key evidence – artifacts, architecture, arts and written sources – that enables us to reconstruct and understand their buildings, technology, clothes, jewelry and everyday life:
•Uncover both the palaces of kings and the simple homes of workers
•Follow a procession of priests through a temple and learn about Egyptian religion
•See the construction of the Great Pyramids
•Watch the pharaoh lead his soldiers into battle
