24 Hours in Ancient Egypt by Donald P. Ryan Pdf

Spend 24 hours with the ancient Egyptians. Ancient Egypt wasn't all pyramids, sphinxes and gold sarcophagi. For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra. During 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.

24 Hours in Ancient China by Yijie Zhuang Pdf

Spend 24 hours with the ancient Chinese. Travel back to AD 17, during the fourth year of the reign of Wang Mang of the Han dynasty, a vibrant and innovative era full of conflicts and contradictions. But as different as the Han culture might have been to other great ancient civilizations, the inhabitants of ancient China faced the same problems as people have for time immemorial: earning enough money, coping with workplace dramas and keeping your home in order . although the equivalent in this era was more about bribing inspectors, avoiding bullying from abusive watchmen and trying to keep your house from being looted by Huns. In each chapter we meet one of 24 citizens of this ancient culture, from the midwife to the soldier, the priest to the performer and the bronze worker to the tomb looter, and see what an average day in ancient China was really like.

Summary of Donald P. Ryan's 24 Hours in Ancient Egypt by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The midwife had brought along a couple of small statuettes, neither of which were particularly attractive. The god Bes was there to help, and he was depicted as a short, pudgy, ugly dwarf. The fertility goddess Heqet was prominently displayed in the home. #2 Weret places both of the images in a position overlooking the birth to enhance their influence. Taweret, with her composite features, is the fiercest of the three protective deities. #3 The midwife, Weret, was sure that the baby would not survive. But he did, and was named Nefer. The midwife thought that the baby would be both well behaved and attractive, but he instead smelled of fish like his father. #4 The baby boy will be nursed by his mother for a few years, and then he'll be segued into his father's profession. He'll spend his time playing and running about with other children, but he'll soon be pushed into his father's profession.
