"The Egyptians" is a vibrant, accessible introduction to the people
who lived along the Nile for almost thirty-five centuries. In this
collection of essays, eleven internationally renowned Egyptologists
present studies of ancient Egyptians arranged by social
type--slaves, craftsmen, priests, bureaucrats, the pharaoh,
peasants, and women, among others. These individual essays are
filled with a wealth of historical detail that both informs and
fascinates: we learn, for example, that Egyptian peasants could not
afford burial (their corpses were abandoned on the desert fringe),
and that it was the bureaucrats who made the Egyptian system tick
(the pyramids could not have been built without them).
Read consecutively, the portraits merge to create a larger picture
of Egyptian culture, state, and society. The framework of the
Egyptian state, in particular, is touched upon in each essay,
describing the meticulous administration and well-organized
hierarchical system that fostered centuries of stability and
prosperity.
