Intimate Lives of the Ancient Egyptians

The focus of this title is on the thoughts, ideas, beliefs and feelings associated with a whole range of common human experiences in Ancient Egypt.

Beginning with the intimate experiences of the individual (childhood, maturity and old age; of sickness and health), the coverage extends into the area of intimate relationships (relating to loved ones, family members, members of the local community).

In particular, it explores the feelings that all these things aroused - notions of honor and shame, love and anger, hope and fear, trust, betrayal and courage - to produce a ground-breaking picture of the emotional lives of Ancient Egyptians.
