This concise book gives the reader a general idea about the main aspects of life in ancient Egypt. As the title suggests the author didn't focus only on the great Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, but also on other important figures such as priests, artists, scribes, and more importantly on the characterization of everyday life in ancient Egypt.
