A classic study of daily life in ancient Egypt, Everyday Life in
Egypt in the Days of Ramesses the Great is the masterwork of the
dean of modern Egyptologists, Pierre Montet. Renowned for its
accuracy and scope, this book conveys the richness and complexity
of ancient Egyptian life. The book focuses on the era of the great
builders at Karnak and Luxor, the Ramesside kings (ca. 1314-1090
B.C.) and surveys both upper and lower Egypt to give a
comprehensive picture of pharaonic society. Montet combines studies
of monuments and tombs with data from pictorial and literary
sources, including papyrus documents, to depict the experiences of
royalty, priests, urban artisans and professionals, peasants and
slaves. Here, too, are colorful descriptions of dwelling places,
seasonal activities, holiday observances, family life, travel,
justice, warfare, and the rites of burial-all enhanced by Montet's
appreciation for the ancient Egyptian way of life.
