With a stunning gold foiled and embossed cover featuring three 'jewels', and with its creation overseen by TGH James, ex keeper of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum, Egyptology is Emily Sands' lavish 1926 scrapbook journal of a lost expedition.He was also the consultant for the BBC’s award-winning documentary on the building of the Great Pyramid. The Nile Scribes have several recommendations perfect for your first step into the world of Egyptology! So, for example, when he is looking at early temples, Barry is not afraid to have an educated guess and reconstruct a very plausible picture of early religious life in Ancient Egypt, which fits all the archaeological evidence beautifully, but is also very imaginative. Full of novelties and recreations, such as a piece of mummy cloth, a booklet on hieroglyphs and a board game, the book brims with beautiful art and fascinating facts about Ancient Egypt, and a has a final magnificent novelty at the back! Greece and Rome somehow feel more familiar, whereas Ancient Egypt seems very different, with its animal-headed gods and its tombs; it is something about that combination of antiquity and mystery that is endlessly appealing.

If you’re looking to untangle the mystery of ancient Egypt and gain insight into its rich and complex mythology, then Egyptian Mythology is the perfect place to start. You’ll learn about the sun god Ra, the tragic death and rebirth of Osiris with the help of Isis, the comedic battle between Horus and Seth, and the “gods of the intellect” Thoth and Maat. This superb book takes you into the world of the Ancient Egyptians through the artefacts left behind and shines a light on some of the most fascinating mysteries of the time by focusing on historical sourcework. I like this book because it delves into the wonders of ancient Egypt, from pharaohs to pyramids to mummies and beyond, with 1,000 fascinating facts.It is more remote in time than ancient Greece and Rome, but somehow feels more remote culturally, too.

But he himself was the king who overthrew centuries of tradition in Ancient Egypt to found a brave new vision of the cosmos, with him at its centre.We meet Hatshepsut, a rare female Pharaoh, who had herself depicted as a male figure in temple scenes, ceremonial beard and all. When Mahu hatches a plot to rob the tomb of a long-dead general in the Valley of the Kings, Renni is swept into the crime to help his family. Throughout my life, I’ve read countless books, with many focusing on the rich history of Ancient Egypt.

The exact details of their celebration – as well as other aspects of life in Ancient Egypt – has Seth questioning not just his knowledge of history, but also customs that seem quite shocking. From a police procedural set in World War II Berlin to a man pushing his in-laws off a wall in Ningbo, the variety of settings for crime fiction continue to provide a lot of opportunities for armchair travel. Ian Andrew studied animation at the Royal College and Croydon College of Art, and illustration at Camberwell College of Arts and Crafts.I recommend this because the book is a fantastic read for anyone who is fascinated by ancient Egypt. Several jobs later Dugald began working at Templar Publishing, where he worked his way up to Senior Editor, writing and editing many books in house. The illustrations are excellent and, given that there aren’t any photos in this book, they provide a detailed view of the objects. This fast-paced narrative follows the story of two siblings who find themselves thrown into an action-packed adventure where the world of Ancient Egypt meets modern life, complete with gods, pharaohs and ancient magic.
