24 Hours in Ancient Egypt: A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There by Donald P. Ryan
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Tantor Audio for providing me an e-arc of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review
This is a great audiobook! It is divided into 24 chapters, each representing one hour of the day in ancient Egypt. I had little to no previous knowledge of what life was like during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep II, and I found this book fascinating.
As someone without a prior interest in Egyptology, I'm not sure I would have put in the effort to read this book, but as audio, it was wonderful! The content, writing style, and reader kept me constantly engaged and the benefit of it being 24 separate chapters that don't (usually) connect is that if you get distracted and miss something, you get to restart with the next chapter!
I see that there are a lot of "24 hours in Ancient ______" books. If more are available as audiobooks, I think I will be checking them out!
