When we think of ancient Egypt, we think of the gods, the pharaohs
and the pyramids. However, life for the average Egyptian was very
different from this glorious perception and was not so
unrecognisable from the lives we live today. This book tells the
history of the ordinary population of ancient Egypt, using the
stories of real people - often strange, at times amusing and
ultimately very recognisable. Booth introduces us to a number of
fascinating people, including Taimhotep, who married a man twice
her age and turned to the god Imhotep to help her to conceive a
son; Naunakhte, who disinherited her children for neglecting her in
her old age; Kenhirkhopshef, a man seemingly obsessed with making
lists; and Paneb, the 'bad boy' of Deir el-Medina. History is made
up of people and personalities, and each of these characters has a
story to tell.
