The Ancient Egyptian Daybook
by Tamara L. Siuda
The Ancient Egyptian Daybook, made possible through a successful 2013 Kickstarter, expands on a festival calendar that first appeared in Dr. Tamara L. Siuda’s 2005 The Ancient Egyptian Prayerbook. It is a scholarly exploration of Egyptian calendar systems, and the religious festival calendars they used for millennia, includes information from Dr. Tamara’s more than 20 years of research into and translations of hieroglyphic sources, and is beautifully illustrated by Megan Zane.
I wish I had this when I was in school!
