Ancient Egypt on Five Deben a Day

Your guide to Ramesses the Great's Egypt - cities, temples, tombs and tourist tips.

Drawing on more contemporary sources and nearly thirty years of experience excavating in the Valley of the Kings, Egyptologist Donald P. Ryan guides us through Ancient Egypt in the time of Ramesses II (1250 BC). Starting with a jouney up the Nile, taking in the sights of Memphis, the pyramids, Thebes and beyond, en route he offers useful advice on everything from deciphering hieroglyphics to mommifying household pets, bribing goverment officials and deciding which god to petition in the event of a scorpion bite. So leave the protective amulets at home and banish all fear of being sold as a gallay slave: this imaginative guide is all you need to survive and enjoy your visit to Egypt in its golden age.-
