Living in Ancient Egypt covers the period from 3000 BCE to 145 BCE, focusing on a time set later in the pharaonic era. It examines the day-to-day lives of ancient Egyptians, from the high priestly caste to the ranks of soldiers to peasants and slaves. Methods of farming, cooking, and building are explained, as well as the structure of Egyptian government and society, influencing law, education, and family. Particular attention is paid to the Egyptian gods, as well as to the temples, tombs, and pyramids for which the ancient Egyptian culture is so well-known.
With timelines, maps, detailed photography, and full-color illustrations, Living in Ancient Egypt is an engaging reference for teenagers and young adults that brings the ancient world to life.
