This book is a hoot!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Egyptian Echo (Newspaper Histories) (Paperback)
A friend showed me this book. It reads like a modern low-budget magazine, but its REAL history! And what a twist. Did you know that the hole 'way up high in the pyramid is actually a way for the bees to get out? You didn't? Then read this book and find out more....

Entertaining for young historians, yet educational.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Egyptian Echo (Newspaper Histories) (Paperback)
When I first glanced at this odd publication, I wasn't sure what it was. It resembles a catalogue, including quirky ads, but contains news-type articles. The articles trace events in Egyptian history and are written and directed to the reader as they might have been if such a publication existed during the day. The best parts are the numerous ads, soliciting everything from Egyptian housing by "Akhoty's Abodes" to 70-day embalming services by "Dead World". Through these ads, the reader is educated on the different types of housing that existed during the period and the process of Egyptian embalming and entombing (respectively). The illustrations are great! The content is substantial, however, it is presented in a "light" manner which keeps audiences, young and old, entertained.
