Beskrivelse
What comes to mind when you think about Ancient Egypt? Maybe it’s Queen Cleopatra, The Great Pyramids of Giza, hieroglyphs, mummies or something else. Whether you love history or not, you can’t deny that Ancient Egypt fascinates pretty much anyone. Why? Because it’s both a unique and complex civilisation we don’t know enough about. If you are a young reader or an adult who is intimidated by chunky history books about Ancient Egypt, give Awesome Egyptian a try, a nonfiction children’s book co-authored by Terry Deary and Peter Hepplewhite and illustrated by Martin Brown. This short book comprises of an introduction, a brief timeline that includes the most important events of each ruling dynasty (from The Old Kingdom to the arrival of the Arabs), surprising information about the Pharaohs, the enigmatic pyramids, the frightening mummies, grave robbers, the Nile, Egyptian deities, life of ordinary people and many more facts you probably didn’t know.
