Re: Vizier help needed

I supose i can help you.... at this website:

http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/vizier.htm

It says that in Egyptian art, vizier were usually depicted wearing a long rode that cam under their armpits and was usually pure white which symbolised his impartiality.

Hope that helps, it was all i could find! :)

It's called a book. You know, one of those ancient things which scholars use? [/old man talk] :D

Try to see if you can find these two:

1. GPF van den Boorn, Duties of the Vizier: Civil Administration in the Early New Kingdom, (London: 1988). Mac library has it in.
2. TGH James' Pharaoh's People: Scenes from Life in Imperial Egypt, (Oxford: 1985). It's also in Mac library. It's in reserve, so it's not really going anywhere anytime soon.
