For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the course of a day in the ancient city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor), Egypt’s religious capital, we meet 24 Egyptians from all strata of society – from the king to the bread-maker, the priestess to the fisherman, the soldier to the midwife – and get to know what the real Egypt was like by spending an hour in their company. We encounter a different one of these characters every hour and in every chapter, and through their eyes see what an average day in ancient Egypt was really like.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57328101589367,"sku":"9781789293517","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781789293517.jpg?v=1785237473","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781789293517","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
