About this book

How to Survive in Ancient Egypt focuses on Thebes in 1360 BCE and provides a guide to living in ancient Egypt, covering religious beliefs and notable sites. The book presents a hypothetical scenario: if you were transported back in time to ancient Egypt, how would you adapt? It addresses practical questions such as where to live, what to eat, where to get your hair done, how to seek medical care, and what to do if you were robbed. Written as a combination self-help and survival guide, the book helps readers navigate the challenges and unfamiliar experiences they would encounter in this historical setting, offering strategies to both manage problems and flourish in this new environment.
