{"product_id":"everyday-life-in-ancient-egypt-lionel-casson-9780801866012","title":"Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt (Revised and Expanded)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLionel Casson offers a comprehensive introduction to the people of ancient Egypt. He describes the structure of Egyptian society--the levels from peasant to pharaoh, the nature of the family, and the role of women. He reviews the professions, from the lowliest scribes to the architects and engineers who built the pyramids, and examines the work of sculptors, painters, cabinetmakers, jewelers, and smiths whose hands turned out the sculptures, murals, and objects of beauty that are so prized today. He deals with that key factor in Egyptian life, religion: the nature of the gods; the powerful role played by belief in the afterlife; and the career of one pharaoh, Akhenaten, who attempted to put heretical views into practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1975 as \u003ci\u003eThe Horizon Book of Daily Life in Ancient Egypt, \u003c\/i\u003e this revised edition includes a new chapter as well as full documentation of the sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lionel Casson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801866014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801866012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.48w x 0.48d","brand":"Lionel Casson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634692878591,"sku":"9780801866012","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aebd42a5-8ffa-49b3-a67a-54073269df9d.jpg?v=1703590438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/everyday-life-in-ancient-egypt-lionel-casson-9780801866012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
