Summary: "Djekhy & Son were doing very well by Egyptian standards. The papers from their archive offer clear insight into certain aspects of their lives, so for the first time we can actually rub shoulders with ancient Egyptian businessmen who lived, loved, worked, and died in Thebes some 2,500 years ago. This book is not about the ideal life portrayed on the walls of the ancient Egyptian tombs. Instead it takes us back to real life in and around Thebes, 550 BCE."-- Publisher's description.
