Egypt is not one but many: the Egypt of the pyramids, of colossal statues, of strange animals and gods. It is a distant and alien place. But there is an Egypt that is more familiar, a world of common humanity, littered with children's toys and games, with cosmetics, ornaments, and jewels, that is busy with the everyday transactions of ordinary life. Like all succeeding generations the ancient Egyptians argued and played games, loved, worked, and engaged in labour disputes. And yet there is something unique about Egypt - and it is this quality which Michael Rice celebrates in this book.
