Treasure Trove

I bought this on a whim at the bookstore because it was on sale, and I needed an art reference book for ancient Egypt. I thought I would just use it for the pictures, but I have spent the last 3 days reading it into the wee hours. Despite its massive size, I find it hard to put down. It covers not just the famous pharaohs, but the history of Egypt and human culture there in earlier times, the Christian era, and early and modern archeology. Check out the story of what happened to the mummy of Rameses I! The included CD-ROM seems mostly to duplicate what's in the book, but may be fun for kids to use. It appears this book was published in Australia, so it has a somewhat European flavor (this is a good thing). Overall, this is a great collection of beautiful images and interesting, readable history.
