For most Egyptians, life centred around their family and village. One of the best preserved villages is located near to the Valley of the Kings at Western Thebes. This village was the home of the tomb builders and their families. Today, the place is called Deir el-Medina and the ruins of the villagers’ homes, tombs and shrines can still be seen here. Archaeologists have found thousands of texts in and around the village, most of which are receipts, reports, letters and poetry written on small pieces of stones. Together, they provide a unique insight into life in an ancient Egyptian village.

För de flesta egyptier kretsade livet kring familjen och hembyn. En av de bäst bevarade byarna ligger i närheten av Konungarnas dal i västra Thebe. I byn bodde gravarbetarna och deras familjer. Platsen kallas idag Deir el-Medina och där finns ruinerna av bybornas hus, gravar och helgedomar. I och omkring byn har arkeologer hittat tusentals texter, de flesta skrivna på stenflisor, som omfattar allt från kvitton och rapporter till brev och poesi. Tillsammans ger de en unik inblick i livet i en egyptisk by.
