Representations and inscriptions on tomb and temple walls and
individual stelae have provided considerable knowledge of ancient
Egyptian daily life, religious custom and military achievements.
However, as visual or eulogistic textual evidence they are unable
to provide the insight into the people themselves, their
personalities and the events and issues they were concerned with,
insight which can be found in personal correspondence. Daily Life
in Ancient Egyptian Personal Correspondence addresses a selection
of letters from the Old Kingdom up to and including the
Twenty-first Dynasty. Under the topic headings of problems and
issues, daily life, religious matters, military and police matters,
it will show the insight they provide regarding aspects of belief,
relationships, custom and behaviour, evidencing the distinctiveness
of the data such personal correspondence can provide as a primary
source of daily life in ancient Egypt - the extra dimension.
