A bed, a bed, any sleeping place is something that accompanies man throughout his life, from the moment of birth to death. In bed we sleep, have sex, get sick, rest, and some rulers once received ambassadors and solved state problems.
World-renowned historian and archaeologist Brian Fagan and the author of several archaeology textbooks, Nadia Durrani, have compiled a wealth of research material on how the bedchamber has changed over the millennia. Numerous facts, testimonies, legends, and references in a variety of sources give an idea of the bed not only as a piece of furniture that has always been in the human dwelling, but also as a phenomenon through which we can study the traditions and customs of sleep in different peoples of the world, as well as the transformation of these traditions in recent centuries.
