Title: Ancient Egypt In 101 Questions And Answers
Description: "In this book, the internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Thomas Schneider asks, "What are the 101 most important questions about ancient Egypt?" The questions he has chosen and the answers he provides challenge almost everything we thought we knew about the ancient civilization in the Nile valley. They range from the surprising ("Why did upper-class Egyptians never wear a beard?") to the profound (Was ancient Egypt a culture of death?) and the provocative (What do we not know about ancient Egypt?). Schneider's answers will surprise, inspire, and challenge a wide range of readers. Ancient Egypt in 101 Questions and Answers provides a completely fresh way of looking at all aspects of ancient Egypt from history, art, and everyday life to religion and ancient attitudes to death and the afterlife." -- Amazon.
