Handbook
to Life in Ancient Egypt
|
|
by Rosalie David
|
|
A
well-organized summary of key topics related to Ancient
Egyptian history, geography, society and government, religion, architecture,
the military, economics, and foreign trade, this book also includes sections on customs
reserved for the dead (including mummification) and writing as practiced in
Ancient Egypt.
The book contains over
100 maps, photos, and drawings--all in black-&-white. Not a highly visual
book, it is more like the best encyclopedia: concise summaries under bold
headings. Although you can find other sources with a similar range of
information, this book's comprehensive discussion of the major facets of
Egyptian life made it invaluable for a teacher and highly useful for budding
younger researchers. (Grades 5 and up)
