To put it bluntly, 95% of the population of Egypt worked on the land, and for three months of every year the land was underwater when the Nile flooded.

It is a great book to become familiar with the exquisite workmanship and skill of the ancient Egyptian craftsman and gain a window into the Egyptian artistic mind.

He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Egyptian History and has broadcast on radio and TV in the UK and abroad, including BBC’s ‘Horizon’ and Channel 4’s ‘Private Lives of the Pharaohs’. It also addresses issues surrounding this distinctive culture, relating the rise and fall of ruling dynasties, exploring colorful personalities, and uncovering surprising facts. For those studying Ancient Egypt as part of the KS2 history curriculum, this would make a good (quick) class read. Apart from the well-known myths, there are many other tales that offer delight and showcase thrilling adventures.

Through its sections on Rise of the Pharaohs, Death and the Afterlife, Life in Ancient Egypt, and Fun With Ancient Egypt, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of an incredibly fascinating civilization. The artisans of today are too busy making a living to give serious thought to scholarly theories, and even when gross inequities are presented to them, they respond with a cynical shrug. I recommend this book because it sheds light on a fascinating civilization that flourished along the Nile River for over 3,000 years, before fading into history along with its culture and hieroglyphics. Full of novelties and recreations, such as a piece of mummy cloth, a booklet on hieroglyphs and a working board game , the book brims with beautiful art and fascinating facts about Ancient Egypt, and a has a final magnificent novelty in the back case. But luckily, her keen observations live on in the form of a lovingly kept journal, full of drawings, photographs, booklets, foldout maps, postcards, and many other intriguing samples.
