From the Back Cover
Our knowledge of the lives of the ancient Egyptians comes from the work of Egyptologists. From the sites of Egypt, from libraries and laboratories, they bring new discoveries and offer new explanations of what really happened thousands of years ago.
In this book, Salima Ikram introduces the work of Egyptologists and explores the way they recreate the past. Simply written, but authoritative, with dozens of photographs and illustrations, this is an excellent introduction for the young enthusiast.
