WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM EGYPT’S TOMBS

Primary sources are from tombs or other funerary structures and have to do mainly with Egypt’s religion and its ideas about the afterlife. The secondary sources discuss what historians do and do not know about ancient Egyptian civilization. Concluding exercises have students assess questions such as "What can and cannot be learned about ancient Egypt from its tombs and all the other other evidence from its funerary culture?"
