Wit and Humour in Ancient Egypt
 
The ancient Egyptians: they had pyramids, they had temples, they had tombs, they also had a good sense of humour! Like people the world over, the ancient Egyptians delighted in a good laugh. In surveying the subject of wit and humour, this work examines what was considered funny in ancient Egypt.

He has written widely on topics relating to egypt and is the author of The Birds of Ancient Egypt, hailed by The Times Literary Supplement as "a landmark study", and The Animal World of the Pharaohs.
