The Material World of Ancient Egypt examines the objects and
artifacts, the representations in art, and the examples of
documentation that together reveal the day-to-day physical
substance of life in ancient Egypt. This book investigates how
people dressed, what they ate, the houses they built, the games
they played, and the tools they used, among many other aspects of
daily life, paying great attention to the change and development of
each area within the conservative Egyptian society. More than any
other ancient civilization, the ancient Egyptians have left us with
a wealth of evidence about their daily lives in the form of
perishable objects, from leather sandals to feather fans, detailed
depictions of trades and crafts on the walls of tombs, and a wide
range of documentary evidence from temple inventories to personal
laundry lists. Drawing on these diverse sources and richly
illustrating his account with nearly one hundred images, William H.
Peck illuminates the culture of the ancient Egyptians from the
standpoint of the basic materials they employed to make life
possible and perhaps even enjoyable.
