The Ancient Egyptians

By David West and David West

Book Overview

Fascination with ancient Egypt hasn't diminished even though 2,000 years have passed since Cleopatra's tragic concluding reign. The amazing and vibrant Egyptians were intelligent enough to build the pyramids, dedicated to their gods enough to mummify bodies, and skilled enough to leave behind the precious artifacts and artwork that tell us of their legacy. In this striking volume, readers are transported to ancient Egypt through accessible text and gorgeous artwork. Essential topics such as family life, religion, political structure, and economy--in combination with photographs of actual Egyptian artifacts--make this book a must-read for any young historian.
