In 1922 a magnificent discovery captured the attention of the world.
As Howard Carter slowly unveiled the opulence of Tutankhamun’s
newly located tomb, people from every corner of the world were
enthralled. Egyptomania gripped the world. The rituals and beliefs
of a highly advanced society were once again exposed; this was the
most infl uential breakthrough in Egyptology since the Rosetta Stone
had been discovered by Napoleon’s men and later deciphered by
19th century scholars. In this second edition of All About History’s
Book of Ancient Egypt, we will step back in time and walk the banks
of the River Nile to learn what made this society one of the most
powerful ancient civilisations in history. We’ll introduce you to some
of the most iconic and infamous pharaohs, tour the awe-inspiring
landmarks raised in their honour and identify the religious tenets
that guided everyday life in Egypt. You’ll explore the grisly burial
rituals that ensured safe passage to the afterlife and even learn to
read the hieroglyphics that adorn surviving monuments and papyri
– all through amazing articles, illustrations and photography. It’s
time to walk like an Egyptian
