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.
As an Egyptian it is interesting for me to discern between ancient and modern Egypt, especially regarding rulers, religion, and the view of the dead (living with the dead). ( )

First words
The ancient Egyptians were passionate gardeners and accomplished botanists; so it is fitting that the land in which they lved should have resembled the flower which they most loved to depict upon their monuments: the lotus.
