Description
"In this book, Leonard Cottrell reconstructs everyday life in the Egypt of 1500 BCE. The central character, a real person whose tomb still exists, is Vizier Rekhmire and it is through him that the reader is taken on a tour of the world of ancient Egypt. Accompany him on his round of official duties, watch the craftsman and the labourer at work, go hunting with his son, watch the surgeon performing an operation, or witness the ritual of 'healing magic'. This book also provides an overview of Egyptian history. It includes the City of the Dead, Thebes and the Valley of the Kings, the building of the pyramids, and important figures and places such as Akhenaten and Amarna."--Jacket.
