Donker van Heel, KAuthor
Cairo : American University in Cairo Press,
2012.
Djekhy & Son were funerary service providers and successful agricultural entrepreneurs working in Karnak 2500 years ago. In 1885, the Egyptologist August Eisenlohr acquired a unique collection of papyri that turned out to be Djekhy's archive of mainly legal documents. Using this evidence, augmented by many other sources, the author has painted a vivid picture of life in ancient Egypt between 570 and 534 BCE, during the little-known Saite period.
