Ancient Egypt evokes an air of mystery, with promises of hidden knowledge, strange gods with heads of beasts, and monolithic structures whose purposes escapes mortals.
In reality, the study of ancient Egypt is like that of any culture's history: what we need to understand is the mindset of these fascinating ancient peoples - from their point of view.
Over the next week or so, I hope to answer questions, show you some interesting websites which are entertaining and reliable, and perhaps change what you think you know about ancient Egypt into something even MORE fulfilling.
Let the journey begin...
