Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians: Volume 3 : Including their Private Life, Government, Laws, Art, Manufactures, Religion, and Early History

Omtale

A pioneer of British Egyptology, Sir John Gardner Wilkinson (1797–1875) published this well-illustrated three-volume work in 1837. Writing in a popular genre normally focused on contemporary societies, Wilkinson covers areas ranging from daily life to funerary beliefs. His imaginative approach underpinned the book's considerable success.
