Though I'm captivated I got this book

Any additional comments?

The author writes well and decreases the history of Egyptian archeology in a clear and logical manner. This may be related to the overall field of Egyptian studies it is of less interest to a layman such as myself. Though I'm captivated I got this book and I am enjoying it very much.

Some interesting facts

The exciting book to know. Getting a little more about the mummification method was lovely neat. The writer did a wonderful job explaining the gods and goddess that the Egyptians prayed.

A superb book

Full of well researched information throughout. Easy to digest, relatively short chapters but chocked full of detailed information. The only shortcoming, but a minor once, is that it's a bit difficult to identify where the objects pictured may be found. Highly recommended.
