Item Number: 137482 Title: The Tomb-Builders of the Pharaohs Author: Bierbrier, Morris Price: Not Available ISBN: 9789774167461 Description: Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 2016. 24cm., pbk., 160pp., 100 illus. Summary: Little is known of the everyday lives of ordinary people in ancient Egypt, but excavations at the village of Deir el-Medina have provided a unique opportunity to reconstruct the daily life of one particular group-the workmen who built the tombs of the pharaohs in the nearby Valley of the Kings. The Tomb-Builders of the Pharaohs brings to life the people who lived and died at Deir el-Medina over three thousand years ago: their loves and hates, disputes and scandals, work and leisure. The author carried out extensive research on the tomb-builders and draws on the thousands of documents, letters, literary texts, and drawings found at Deir el-Medina to give a fascinating and intimate glimpse of life in the village.
