Published 17 January 2002

Why did ancient Egyptians house their dead pharaohs in magnificent pyramids? Which ancient Egyptian god kept a record of the fate of every man and woman in Egypt? Why were some herds of cows in ancient Egypt considered to be sacred? Every aspect of ancient life is explored by looking at the traditions and religious beliefs associated with it. The book reveals how such beliefs were an integral part of life and how they affected everything that was done. Complete with glossary, index, photography and illustrations.
