In this highly readable and absorbing book we meet ancient people from every walk of life. For the first time we can confirm how these Egyptians lived and died.
Included is a special feature on the art of mummification, plus a wealth of information on daily life in the time of the Pharaohs - all illustrated with photographs, diagrams and stunning illustrations.
