With many thousands of years
to cover, Lewis uses translations of many and varied inscriptions and documents
to show life in ancient Egypt. From the
sale of a slave girl to the hymn to a new god, this book has great scope. There
is a comprehensive chronology, and each section is accompanied by and
introduction and maps. An excellent
place to start researching into one of the world’s earliest and greatest
civilisations.
