Everyday Life in Egypt in the Days of Ramesses The Great Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the original edition of Montet's book goes back to the '50, I consider that it still holds good for anyone interested in getting a deep insight of everyday life in Pharaonic Egypt under the reign of Ramesses Ii, especially now that the greatest king of Egypt jumped back to popularity after the amazing discovery of tomb KV 5 in Valley of the Kings. This title is well-organized and better written by the hand of one of the most notable French Egyptologists, so that you will not be disapointed. Informative and highly readable, it contains a lot of records from the most varied sources. Highly recommendable.
