History with the nasty bits left in. Awful information about phabulous Pharoahs, mean mummies, revolting recipes for 3000 year old sweets, and more. History has never been so horrible! For 9-12 year olds.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great introduction to things Egyptian!,
By Yumuri "Polilla" (NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Awesome Egyptians (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my son who is an avid reader of anything Egyptian and he devoured it happily. He found the interesting facts hard to resist and shared them with all of us. As a professional historian, I usually eschew things like this but I found it engaging when I read it. This is the type of book that homeshcooling parents love because it encourages a reluctant reader to learn and it cements the learning of one who is motivated. I highly recommend it.

Awesome Egyptians - Awesome Book!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Awesome Egyptians (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
The Awesome Egyptians tells you about the people who lived an awesome two thousand years before the Greeks and Romans! It tells you fearful facts about the mighty Mummys' experiences. Did you know that King Pepy II ruled from age 9 to age over 100 - longer than any other Egyptian king? Did you know that King Sneferu invited twenty of his wives to row along the palace lake and entertain him? It was going well when one wife dropped her hair clip in the water. She sulked and refused to go on. The King pleaded. She refused. Finally King Sneferu had to order the court magician to find it. An ancient story says that he folded one half of the lake on top of the other, and found the hair clip.Awesome story, huh? Anyway, I give this book an awesome FIVE star rating - that's as high as I can get! I recommend you buy this book. William Cuddy - age 8 years
