Ancient Egyptians - Their Life and Customs, Volume 1 by J. Gardner Wilkinson
In this, the first volume of The Ancient Egyptians, he provides a rich description of Egyptian private life, including the arrangement of houses and gardens, games and amusements, music and dance. He then expands his observations to the wider society, covering such institutions as government, the army and religion.
This, the second volume of The Ancient Egyptians, finds the author breaking down the Egyptian class system and looking at trades, work methods and related implements. Mummies, sarcophagi and funeral rites, all prevailing images in our knowledge of this highly sophisticated culture, are examined, along with the ornate images of Egyptian art.
