Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Egypt. ( ) Very beautifully illustrated, this large book presents the story of Egypt from prehistory through early contact with western archaeologists. The focus is what has been learned through archaeological exploration throughout each historical period. Sections on grave robbing and the role of women are particularly interesting. Includes some sexually explicit illustrations. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Everyday life in the Egypt of the Pharaohs: From Cheops, Ramses and Tutankhamun to the world of labourers and craftsmen, what do we really know about our ancestors? Not about the rulers and generals, but about laborers, farmers, soldiers and families. Egypt is a perfect case in point, almost a blank slate for most of us as it regards details of their everyday life. This useful and informative book attempts to set the record straight by offering a distinctive take on that most mythologized of epochs.Who would have guessed, for example, that the first strike in recorded history took place in 1152 BC during work on the necropolis in the Valley of the Kings, a protest by construction workers against delayed deliveries of oil and flour? Two fairly banal commodities maybe, but essential: oil protected the skin against the savage desert climate, whilst flour was the base ingredient for thirty different kinds of nutritional cake. It is this detailed examination of the evidence that distinguishes this volume, with chapters on everything from relationships to leisure activities, the role of women to the manufacture of mummies. And just like the mummies, fragile as eggshell but solid as a statue and magically able to transcend death, both people and country are brought alive for us again.
