Why read it?
1 author picked Life and Death in Ancient Egypt as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Books that examine the multiple meanings of ancient Egyptian tomb decoration in a number of tombs are depressingly rare. Hodel-Hoenes takes us on a tour of some of the most significant private tombs in the ancient necropolis of Thebes and discusses the content and symbolism of their colored reliefs and paintings in this profusely illustrated book. These tombs belong to high officials that served the king and many are not open to the public, which makes this book invaluable.
From Melinda's list on ancient Egyptian tombs.
