Uncover history and see how people lived during ancient Egyptian times with this fun and humorous guide
Uncover History and find out about ancient Egypt, its people and the story of ancient Egypt that goes back some 4,000 years.
Who were the Ancient Egyptians? Read about their daily lives, what jobs they did and why the river Nile was so important to them. Discover the mysteries of the pyramids, why the Egyptians mummified their people and about the gods and goddesses that ruled their way of life. Find out the answer to questions such as 'what are hieroglyphs?', 'why were the pyramids built' and 'why did ancient Egypt end?'
Using fun, humorous illustrations, this book tells the story of many great kings and pharaohs, such as Tutankhamen and Cleopatra and shows how hieroglyphs offer an insight into the daily life of the Egyptian people.
