This review is from: Thebes in Egypt: A Guide to the Tombs and Temples of Ancient Luxor (Paperback)
This book differs from the usual guides, as it describes the historical evolution, from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period, of the tombs and temples of Thebes (modern Luxor). The authors provide detailed and accurate information about life in the city. Subjects covered include the Valley of the Kings, that of the Queens and of the Nobles. Issues such as tomb decoration and burials of private individuals are addressed. This is an excellent, recommended, must-read book for all.

This review is from: Thebes in Egypt: A Guide to the Tombs and Temples of Ancient Luxor (Paperback)
This book gives a great view of the New Kingdom ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes. It provides intimate details into the lives of the workers at Deir-El Medina, the monumental temples, beutiful tombs, and its unique history. The Strudwicks do a wonderful job expalining how Thebes went from a small Egyptian town to a huge capital that would leave an unforgettable mark on Egyptian Culture.
