Features: Ancient Egyptian civilization was born along the Nile River, with a legendary story of death and rebirth, a distant and timeless historical sense, and a mysterious exotic charm of human beauty. It is a peculiar phenomenon in human culture. Through the study of archaeological materials, this book vividly recreates various aspects of daily life during the pyramid era of ancient Egypt: bustling construction sites, busy administrative officials, versatile scholars and scribes, warm and joyful family life, unique marriage customs, distinctive funeral rituals, the beautiful and picturesque marshlands, and the vast and desolate deserts and hills of ancient Egypt. In Andeh's portrayal, ancient Egypt is no longer just a picture composed of pharaohs, pyramids, and hieroglyphs. It also incorporates the trivial yet heartwarming aspects of the daily lives of ancient Egyptians, showcasing a unique perspective of a female author: ancient Egyptians and their families and friends would come to the marshlands, silently gliding through the reeds in small boats, admiring the elegant umbrella-shaped flowers of the papyrus, and inhaling the sweet fragrance of lotuses. They breathed the fresh air of the wilderness, basking in the lush sunlight there. They also fished, hunted, or simply enjoyed the symphony played by the animals in the riverbanks, listening to their songs of life.
