Spend a year in the company of the ancient Egyptians, during the
twenty-sixth and final year of the reign of Amenhotep II (c.1400
BC), which saw a royal transition bringing Thutmose IV to the
throne of Upper and Lower Egypt. While builders from the secluded
village of royal tomb workers rush to complete Amenhotep's tomb,
and craftsmen labour to finish the numerous extravagant objects to
accompany the god-king in his burial, most Egyptians go about their
daily lives in ways unchanged for eons. Following the Egyptian
calendar year, which was divided into three seasons (flooding,
sowing and harvest), we will meet a farmer and his family, an
embalmer, an artisan, a royal physician, a priest and even a royal
wife as they live their lives in Thebes and Memphis during the
eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom in this remarkable year in
ancient Egyptian history.
