Life of the Ancient Egyptians

Few studies of ancient Egypt cover so broad a scope as this exceptional insight into everyday life in ancient Egypt. The text is complemented by many illustrations of artefacts, works of art, and scenes of life in ancient Egypt as recorded in tomb reliefs and paintings on papyri. Werner Forman’s superb photographs were taken specially for this volume in Egypt and in the great public and private collections.

The human remains found in the Memphite tomb of Horemheb include 305 individuals which come from three contexts. The original late Eighteenth Dynasty burials from the subterranean system of Shaft IV include the remains of Horemheb's queen, Mutnodjmet, and Professor Strouhal's examination of her skeleton provides important new information on her life and death. The tomb also contained later burials, of the Ramesside Period and the Late Period. All the remains are comprehensively analysed and discussed.
