{"product_id":"lives-of-the-ancient-egyptians","title":"Lives of the Ancient Egyptians","description":"One hundred biographies of ancient Egyptians, both rulers and everyday citizens, reveal the true character and diversity of the ancient world’s greatest civilization.\nSpanning thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history, this volume offers a fresh perspective on an always fascinating civilization through the lives of the people who ruled, built the great monuments, staffed government offices, farmed, served in the temples, and fought to defend the country’s borders.\nThis book includes stories of god-kings, from great rulers such as Khufu and Ramesses II to less famous monarchs such as Amenemhat I and Osorkon; powerful queens such as Tiye, the beautiful Nefertiti, Tutankhamun’s tragic child-bride Ankhesenamun, and the infamous Cleopatra; as well as ordinary women who are often overlooked in official accounts: Hemira, a humble priestess from a provincial Delta town, and Naunakht, whose will reveals the trials and tribulations of family life.\nIllustrated with works of art and scenes of daily life, Lives of the Ancient Egyptians offers remarkable insights into the history and culture of the Nile Valley and very personal glimpses of a vanished world. 25 illustrations\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0500294801\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0500294801.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wilkinson, Toby\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
