Admittedly, there is a great deal to be said about each of these aspects of the burial rite in ancient Egypt and the author has essayed a survey that includes a good deal of significant information as well as observation.\"\u003cbr\u003e(\u003ci\u003eBryn Mawr Classical Review\u003c\/i\u003e, 12 November 2011)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Nameless Lives at Tarkhan and Saqqara 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly Tombs and the Ka\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Pits, Palaces and Pyramids 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRoyal Cemeteries of the Early Dynastic Period and Old Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Non-Royal Cemeteries of Dynasty 4 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Unas, Teti and Their Courts 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Late Old Kingdom at Saqqara\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Tombs of Qar and Idu 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFamilies and Funerals in the Late Old Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 A Growing Independence 86\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCourt and Regional Cemeteries in the Late Old Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Ankhtify 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Time of Change\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Osiris, Lord of Abydos 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 ‘Lords of Life’ 136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoffins\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Strangers and Brothers 148\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Middle Kingdom in Middle Egypt\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 North and South 166\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMiddle Kingdom Tombs at the Royal Residence\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Ineni, Senenmut and User-Amun 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew Tombs for Old\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Rekhmire and the Tomb of the Well-Known Soldier 190\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeigners and Funerals in the Age of Empire\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Huya and Horemheb 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmarna and After\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Samut and the Ramesside Private Tomb 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Sennedjem 233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding and Buying at Deir el-Medina\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Petosiris 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Dying Tradition\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 260\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 276\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 281\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407858770263,"sku":"9781405120890","price":26.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781405120890.jpg?v=1730500762","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ancient-egyptian-tombs-9781405120890","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
