Product Description

Are you crazy for ancient Egypt? Do you want to learn everything there is to know about its culture and history? If so, then THE EGYPTOLOGY HANDBOOK: A COURSE IN THE WONDERS OF EGYPT is for you. As readers of the fascinating EGYPTOLOGY are all too aware, the feisty explorer Emily Sands mysteriously vanished on an expedition up the Nile in 1927. But in a remarkable turn of fortune for Miss Sands’s many fans, detectives have uncovered a second volume penned in her own hand – a course book on ancient Egyptian history and culture intended for the voyager’s beloved niece and nephew. Now available to budding Egyptologists everywhere, this comprehensive volume – illustrated by the same artists who lent their talents to EGYPTOLOGY – is brimming with facts on ancient Egyptian culture and history, followed by intriguing assignments and fill-in opportunities on everything from archaeological finds to theories on how the pyramids were built.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic Book
My 10 year old daughter first checked this out of the library twice & still wanted to check it out again.
I logged on to Amazon & found it, bought it as a surprise & she looks at it & reads it at least weekly.

If you want a GREAT kids book on egyptology this is it!

Very Nice
I enjoyed this book and am sure that my grandchildren will as well. I was surprised that it was smaller and less interactive then the companion book. "Egyptology, Search for the Tomb of Osiris" which everyone in my family loves. But this one is fun and full of understandable information.

Good companion to Egyptology.
There are more maps and flaps to explore. I thought it went very well together with "Egyptology"
