Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt

Author: Barbara Mertz
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar


A very readable, open, and accessible account of the history of early Egypt. All sorts of topics are covered and the author does not for a bit give into sensationalism or pet issues - people were simply drawn a certain way in Ahkenaton's time for example - but still explains why. A lovely text that I wished got more attention today.
