People of Ancient Egypt

This book highlights some specific individuals of Ancient Egypt, ranging from the Old Kingdom down to the end of Cleopatra's reign, including kings such as Akhenaten, Horembeb, and Ramses II; queens and other influential women; and officials like Imhotep, Sennemut, and Ramose. The details surrounding 20 separate lives are unveiled, including information on their families, careers, illnesses, and religious beliefs. Lavishly illustrated with a wide range of photographs and surviving artifacts, this is a unique look at Egypt's key figures.

Charlotte Booth is a freelance Egyptologist and the author of The Ancient Egyptians for Dummies, The Boy Behind the Mask: Meeting the Real Tutankhamun, and The Hyskos Period in Egypt.
