I, Neht of Esna, am writing this diary in the eighth year of the reign of Hatshepsut.
The god Khnum has smiled upon my family and blessed us with great fortune! In a month, we are leaving our humble home in dull, dusty Esna and traveling by ship to the great city of Memphis…
Do you want to meet an Egyptian female pharaoh?
Visit the City of the Dead and catch tomb robbers?
Meet the pharaoh’s army with gifts from the land of Punt?
Host a dinner party for the Keeper of the Granaries?
Ride a chariot to the Pyramid of Cheops?
Study at a school for scribes?
Neht will tell you everything that an ancient Egyptian schoolboy and future scribe needs to know and be able to do!
The world of Ancient Egypt has been brought to life by artist David Parkins. His detailed illustrations will show the life of the Egyptians—from the cat to the pharaoh—in every detail.
For middle school age children.
