Everyday life in Ancient Egypt
Our main section of the site covers the complete spectrum of life as it was (or rather how we know it was) in Ancient Egypt. Comprehensive sections cover daily life, the complex religious and cult beliefs, burials, tombs and mummification, known chronology, major monuments, pharaohs, and even Coptic Egypt - the early Christian era, which is often overlooked. Learn about some of the ancient monasteries established in the 4th and 5th centuries, and many of which are still working monasteries today.

Egypt in art: Roberts and Frith
During the period of great discovery, many artists were taken by the enigmatic beauty and splendour of the ancient Egyptian monuments. One of the most famous is probably the Victorian Scotsman, David Roberts. His beautiful pictures, still as popular today, now adorn all manner of souvenirs, postcards and calendars. Another pioneer of the time, Francis Frith was a photographer who photographed many of the well-known sites as they originally were, often in a state of disrepair, flooded, or buried in desert sand. Fascinating photos of a bygone age.
