It's a very physical book - you want to delve into the layers of
shrine and unwrap the mummified corpse as you turn the pages - and
the information is provided alongside the images and novelties in
easily-accessible chunks of text. The book covers a huge amount -
from Ancient Egyptian gods and the process of mummification to
hieroglyphics and the Rosetta Stone, to objects from everyday life
- but it never feels overwhelming, rather like something you want
to delve into and explore.
Tutankhamun’s Tomb, pop-up style. It is quite amazing what can be
made to pop-up, and tombs and dead kings are no
exception.
