Description
Four thousand years before the birth of Christ, ancient Egypt was the cradle of modern civilization. Powerful pharaohs built great cities on the fertile banks of the Nile, and employed thousands of labourers to create lavish tombs and temples such as Thebes and the pyramids of the Giza plateau. Today the exceptional beauty and scale of ancient Egypt’s antiquities is legendary and draws millions of visitors to Egypt’s museums and monuments each year. Treasures of Ancient Egypt is a celebration of these wonders, from Tutankhamun’s tomb to the pyramids, from ancient papyrus scrolls covered with hieroglyphs to golden amulets in the form of ankhs and scarabs.
Featuring 160 colour photographs, Treasures of Ancient Egypt tells the stories of the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, and the artefacts that have been found there. From necklaces to mummies, from wall paintings to statues, this is a fascinating, highly colourful exploration of a mighty ancient civilization.

During the tour of Tutankhamun in the late 70’s my mother went with my stepfather on a date before they were married and she brought home a hardcover copy of ‘Treasures of Tutankhamun’ , so from the time I was a very little girl, I would pore over the photos in that book and be awed. As a result, perhaps, I’ve always been very interested in ancient Egyptian history.
Having the opportunity to read this, I will say that the photos included are among the most wonderful I’ve seen. History is interspersed between the vivid photographs and engaging to read.
Would be an excellent choice for history lovers as well as homeschooling unit studies.
