“Alan Lloyd’s edited two-volume Companion to ancient Egypt is a very impressive achievement... Wendrich and Lloyd have shown that text and reference books on ancient Egypt can be accessible and interesting and can serve to break traditional boundaries between Egyptology and the related disciplines of Archaeology and Classics, for which they should be heartily congratulated.” (Antiquity, 1 January 2013)
