Fascinating!,
This review is from: Life of the Ancient Egyptians (Hardcover)
A pleasure to look at, and a pleasure to read! The illustrations are superb. The text also is excellent. The author is not only an experienced archaeologist, but also an anthropologist, knowledgeable both in medicine and biology. Unlike many other handsome books on ancient Egypt, he does not stop at the impressive architectural remains, and the pictures and sculptures detected in the tombs, but uses them, together with additional material, to provide a vivid and fascinating insight into the lives and thoughts of the ordinary people, from 4000 BCE to Roman times.

general overview of Ancient Egyptian life,

This review is from: Life of the Ancient Egyptians (Hardcover)
This book provides much information on Ancient Egyptian society. The chapters are organized by themes, each dealing with different subjects, which include childbirth, education, entertainment, marriage, funerary beliefs and mummification. Written for the layperson, the reader will find many illustrations and an excellent bibliography for further consultation. This is a recommended study of Ancient Egyptian life.

This review is from: Life of the Ancient Egyptians (Hardcover)
This book did a really good job of explaining the life of ancient Egyptians, but it needs more pictures! There are some pictures though. The book is a bit wordy, but you can skip around and find the information you are curious about.
