Museum collections are sometimes the only way to learn about a people and their customs at a given time. For the history of Ancient Egypt, the only way to learn about the lives of its inhabitants is to understand their mortuary remains and the funerary rituals that accompanied them into the afterlife. This book is an invitation to discover predynastic Egypt through remarkable, sometimes enigmatic objects, such as the statues of Bearded Men or the astonishing collection of animal mummies that have acquired worldwide renown. All these objects will be present at the future Musée des Confluences, which will soon open in Lyon. The book you have in your hands will allow you to discover them in advance.
