This multi-touch book was produced by Imago Publishing Limited.

All objects are in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum, unless otherwise noted. In the captions, dimensions are usually given in the order of height by width, followed in the case of sculpture by depth, first in inches, then in centimeters. The order of the dimensions given for animal remains reflects a horizontal position, lying flat on an examination table, with the second dimension representing the animal’s length; the second dimension of coffins, measured in a horizontal position, also refers to length. All Egyptian dates are approximate. The chronology followed here is based on William J. Murnane, “The History of Ancient Egypt: An Overview,” in Jack M. Sasson, ed., Civilizations of the Ancient Near East, vol. 2 (New York: Scribner, 1995), pp. 712–14. The captions incorporate the most precise information available about each object, including period, dynasty, and approximate year dates. For a summary of periods and dynasties, see “A Brief Chronology of Ancient Egypt,” in the present volume.
