Welcome to The Real History. A blog where I talk about the real historical inspirations for my YA fantasy debut “Treasures of Egypt.”
Money in Ancient Egypt—A Pyramid Scheme
The New Kingdom era of Egypt, spanning from around 1550 to 1069 BC, marked a fascinating period in the ancient world, particularly in terms of its economy and monetary system. This era, covering the 18th to 20th dynasties, is renowned for its prosperity, architectural marvels, and significant developments in the economic structure of the society. Today we will explore the concept of money in the New Kingdom and how it manifests itself in the fictional world of the YA fantasy novel, Treasures of Egypt.
