Purchase options and add-ons

In this compelling guide and sourcebook, renowned author and scholar Michael Rice introduces us to the inhabitants of ancient Egypt, allowing us to encounter their world through their own eyes. Here are the great and the famous, from Cleopatra to Tutankhamun, but here also are the grave-robber Amenwah, Nakht the gardener and Sebaster the hairdresser.
The whole arena of Egyptian life is expressed in these pages. Not only are there nearly a thousand biographies, there is also a chapter on 'Encountering Ancient Egyptians', sections on kingship and on religion, a chronology, a glossary and maps. A combination of erudite scholarship and a clear and accessible style, this volume opens up the world of the ancient Egyptians to all those with an interest in the subject in a way that has never been done before.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reference
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2000
Who are the people behind the world's greatest ancient civilisation is the crucial question which drives this great book. From the most famous to the lowly people, from Egypt's heights of prosperity to its depths of despair, the people behind the names, both in their original and their Greek transliterated form, are revealed in an English language alphabetical order. Many of the museum collections have been examined and elaborated on. The first entry in the book is a scribe, Aakheperkare-senb and the last one is Zoser (aka Djoser Netjerykhet). Although there are no illustrations, it is an excellent and well-written reference, a must for students and scholars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference for the beginner
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2001
This is a good at-hand reference for the armchair Egyptologist, or anyone who needs quick, concise information about numerous and important ancient Egyptians. Because some of the entries are very brief, however, it's probably not as useful for an expert in the field.

If you are a student of Egyptology, there is much to confuse, especially many individuals of the same name. This book helps to clarify as well as educate.

If you're an egyptology buff you will love this little book. Packed full of most of the big names in ancient Egypt and a lot of other names which we are not so familiar with. Nothing is perfect, of course, and there are some surprising omissions. Where is Meryra Chief Priest of the Aten, for instance ? and also Meryra II, Chief Steward and Overseer of the Treasury at Akhetaten ? These were big names but both are missing.
