Description
By examining the remains of seven mummies from the world-famous British Museum, we can unearth the past and learn about the present.
From Ginger, a simple prehistoric farmer, to Katebet, a wealthy woman buried with her jewelry, to Hornedijitef, a grand priest of Amun- the lives and cultures of ancient Egyptians are uncovered fascinating detail. What these people looked like, how they worked, the foods they ate, and why they prepared so elaborately for the afterlife are all documented through nearly one hundred full-color photographs that reveal how the life of the ordinary Egyptian was different- and not so different- from our lives today.
