About this listen

Daily Life in Ramessid Egypt (Part 1). Starting around 1300 BCE, the (surviving) corpus of written documents from Egypt begins to increase dramatically. It's not clear why, but papyrus and ostraca are far more abundant for this era than anything before. Thanks to these records, we get many glimpses of daily life and personal concerns, from the society of the time; and we can enjoy some Small Stories of life in Ramessid Egypt.

The dancers wear "string" garments that may be the ruwedj referenced by Ise in her letter to her sister. The History of Egypt Podcast: Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
