Features: This book brings together all the ancient Egyptians who lived along the banks of the Nile: Pharaohs, nobles, scribes, farmers, artisans, doctors, scientists, slaves, soldiers, students, and both men and women and children who lived within the long-standing traditions of ancient Egypt. They spent thousands of years on that narrow strip of land, their lives occupied daily with the mundane tasks of daily living—cooking, eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, as well as entertainment, leisure, farming, divination, and worship. Weddings, funerals, festive banquets—days filled with laughter or tears—accompanied them as they moved toward modern history. Today, all of this has settled into dust, but beneath the eternal yellow sand lies a great civilization, hidden for millennia, the secrets of the lives of the people of the Nile. This book brings them all to life.
