Summary

"Kids are endlessly fascinated with Ancient Egypt. The pyramids, the tombs, the mummies, the jackal- and ibis- and cow-headed gods, the Book of the Dead - what a thrill! The modern approach to Egyptian history for kids focuses almost entirely on the archaeology, the material culture, and the mythology of Ancient Egypt. Today’s kids study mummification and pyramid-building theories in minute detail, but they miss out almost entirely on the vast body of traditional knowledge flowing from the legends and biographical anecdotes of the historical figures of that era."--amazon.com
