Key to the Pyramid Age.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Texts from the Pyramid Age (Writings from the Ancient World) (Paperback)
This book is a great source for anyone that wishes to know in there own words the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom from the 3rd to the 6th Dynasties the ages when Egypt built pyramids for its kings. You will find translations of inscriptions from the lowly laborer fot the king to the King himself. There are biographical texts, and mundane events and even some of the queens hopes and desires were recorded and passed down to us from the centers of the Old Kingdom, Memphis to inscriptions by expeditions to quarrying sites and the provinces (nomes). What surprised me was the number that are in my local museum listed in the book and translated form the hieroglyphic language of millenias ago. It is a great source for Egyptian names as well.

I have only received this book and have not read it, however, in what I have reviewed this is a well researched and studied book and I shall enjoy working with it.
