Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt by Barbara Mertz
KMT, or Kemet— Egypt … “land of the black” soil. The annual flooding of the Nile with rich farming soil and the red sands of the deserts. Quite a nice title.
I have read many books on Kemet, and I love a good fiction tale as much as learning something new.
I grew up around the developing field of Egyptology and hieroglyphs so it is comfortable. Of course I continued studying it in college!
Replicas glared at me from our decor back when most ppl only knew of Tut, Nefertiti, Cleopatra, Rameses II and the like. I saw many exhibits during our family trips. The thing is:
I know I have read this, but I remember something about it bugging me. I can’t remember what it was, though. I love Amelia Peabody. Hmm. Maybe it was the older published version?
So… no rating for now.
