Description

The Ancient Egyptian World uses primary sources, such as a letter from an Egyptian king, an actual interview with a practicing Egyptologist, and instructions on "how to make a mummy," to create an intriguing account of the ancient Egyptian society and all of its wonders. Through exciting narratives based on specific objects and events, ancient Egyptian voices come alive and pull the reader into a world unlike any other.
