A fascinating look at Ancient Egypt and what its artefacts tell us. Each chapter answers a question about the period such as 'who were the ancient Egyptians?', 'How did the Egyptians communicate?' 'What was life like in ancient Egypt?' and 'what did the ancient Egyptians contribute to the world?'
Panels titled 'What does it tell us?' explore archaeological sites, artefacts and texts and explain how historians have used these to piece together what life was like in the past.
With fascinating colour photographs, a glossary, index, and further information section, this book provides a valuable insight into the ancient Egyptians.
