Ancient Egypt on 5 Deben a Day (Traveling on 5)

A time-traveler’s guide to sightseeing and survival in the land of the pharaohs.

• Foreigners might be bewildered by animal-headed deities and what appear to be numerous contradictions in Egyptian theology. Not to worry! There’s a system behind it.
• Don’t bring up the topic of the renegade pharaoh, Akhenaten, among new acquaintances. Many wish he hadn’t existed.
• Should you need to visit an Egyptian physician, there’s a good chance he’ll prescribe a purge of one sort or another, accompanied by a magic spell.
