We see the delicately inscribed seal of queen Sobekneferu; the small statues known as Shabti, which were buried with their owners and were believed to be ready to awake and work in fields when their master demanded it; and the false door in the tomb of Pepy II, constructed to allow his spirit to pass between the worlds of the living and the dead. The eye-catching 12-page fold-out timeline, which can be detached for wall display, unfolds over the same 3,000 years of history as the book, presenting a vivid account of the major events, achievements, and personalities of the ancient Egyption world.

Thebes in Egypt: A Guide to the Tombs and Temples of Ancient Luxor

The remains of ancient Thebes constitute one of the largest and most remarkable archaeological sites in all of Egypt and indeed the world. The discoveries made at this site, now the modern town of Luxor, are responsible for much of our knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization. After excavating and researching the city of Thebes for many years, Nigel and Helen Strudwick here offer the first comprehensive introduction to it, one that will be welcomed by both armchair travelers and visitors to that popular tourist destination. Handsomely illustrated, the book features eighty photographs―thirty in color―and twenty maps and plans.
After reviewing the topography of the site, the Strudwicks recount the history of Thebes from the city's rise in the late Old Kingdom to the peak of its power in the New Kingdom and to its gradual decline in the Greco-Roman period. They discuss the central role played by the gods in the community's religious life, and take us on a tour of the great temples of Karnak and Luxor on the East Bank of the Nile and of the temples and tombs of kings, queens, princes, and ordinary individuals on the West Bank.
Drawing on their intimate acquaintance with ancient Egyptian society, the authors re-create the lives of Thebans during the New Kingdom. They conclude by assessing Greek, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic influences on the area as it exists today and by providing an overview of the archaeological research undertaken there.
