About this deal

The final chapter is most valuable, as it gives the reader a series of double-page infographics which detail some of the historical content; such as mummification and ‘the journey of the dead’.

I recommend this book because it provides an in-depth introduction to one of the most fascinating ancient civilizations — Egypt.

Through its sections on Rise of the Pharaohs, Death and the Afterlife, Life in Ancient Egypt, and Fun With Ancient Egypt, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of an incredibly fascinating civilization. The book provides a trip through the golden ages of archeaology in Egypt, from the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 to the Golden Mummies in 1999. Dugald Steer has written many books for children including the best-selling Dragonology and its companion, The Dragonology Handbook , as well as the forthcoming Wizardology . In addition to producing artwork for the best-selling Ology series, Ian also illustrated The Boat , by Helen Ward which was shortlisted for the 2005 Kate Greenaway Medal.

Anyone interested in learning about the history of this captivating civilization should definitely give this book a read. But we do know that the pyramid workers were well housed and well fed, and they were certainly given rations beyond those that your average worker would have received during the normal working year. Additionally, the optional 80-page reference section provides a directory of the pharaohs and gods and goddesses. The groundbreaking OLOGY series, which includes Dragonology , has sold more than 18 MILLION copies worldwide.NS: Lavishly illustrated with gorgeous colour photographs, Malek presents his selection of Egyptian masterpieces from as early as the mid fourth millennium BC down to the last flickers of Egyptian civilisation in 200 AD.

The book deals with the one character of Akhenaten, who is probably the most controversial figure in the whole of Ancient Egypt history.The dictionary is lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs, line drawings, site plans and maps. Finally, Diane Greco Josefowicz looks at French Egyptomania, at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, when Napoleon failed to fulfil his ambitions to emulate Alexander the Great’s conquests, but did much to advance the science of Egyptology and the understanding of Ancient Egypt.

This is, to my mind, one of the most original pieces of scholarship on Ancient Egypt published in the last 50 years – and there is a particular connection to me, because the author, Barry Kemp, was my lecturer at university. Below, I present a curated list of 15 fascinating books that will surely enhance your understanding and appreciation for the captivating world of Ancient Egypt.Not until I was in my forties, did I begin to see the strange Biblical hints of what ended up in my writing my book UFOs In The Bible. Published between 1898 and 1937, and long out of print, the catalogues were re-issued in facsimile by publishers Aris and Philips in the 1970s alongside titles newly commissioned, based on more recent examination of elements of the Petrie Collection by contemporary experts.
