The Tomb-Builders of the Pharaohs

By Morris Bierbrier (British Msuseum, 1997)

The excavations at Deir el-Medina are unique in that they have provided an opportunity to reconstruct the daily life of the workmen who built the tombs of the pharaohs in the nearby Valley of the Kings. Dr. Bierbrier draws on the thousands of documents, letters, literary texts and drawings found at Deir el-Medina to present a fascinating view of everyday lives of ordinary people in ancient Egypt.
