5.0 out of 5 stars
not only a biography of King Tut, but also a brief history of Ancient Egypt,
By
This review is from: Tutankhamun (First Books--Ancient Biographies) (Paperback)
This book is for an older student (3rd grade and up?) It is much longer and textier, with more to read and understand. The book explains the position of the Pharoahs of Egypt, their views of the afterlife, and offers a brief history of the Three Kingdoms.It talks about the first archaeological expeditions to Egypt, introduces Howard Carter, and follows him as he labors for years in the desert without great results. And then - oh, the suspense - the book gives a chapter on finding the tomb of Tutankhamun, and peering inside at the treasure it held. Your child will really explore the many, many years it took to catalog and preserve everything in the tomb. A great biographical section on Tutankhamun and the context of his times, followed by a debunking of the Curse of The Mummy. Worthwhile book. |
