| Summary | "The Pharaohs and Their People: Scenes of Old Egyptian Life and History" by E. Berkley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores ancient Egyptian civilization, focusing on its prominent figures, cultural practices, and monumental architecture, particularly the era of the Pharaohs. Through a combination of modern research and ancient records, it aims to provide readers with insights into the life, mythology, and history of ancient Egypt. The opening of this work lays the groundwork for understanding the rich tapestry of Egyptian mythology and the legendary reign of early gods, such as Osiris, Isis, and Horus. It introduces significant themes, including the myths surrounding the origin of kingship in Egypt and the establishment of the first royal dynasty under King Mena. The narrative discusses essential aspects of daily life, governance, and religious beliefs, illustrated with references to ancient cities and their divine protectors, setting the stage for the intricate historical accounts that follow in the subsequent chapters.
