Pues es un libro en inglés que compré para mi sobrino. Lo vi en el British Museum cuando lo visité hace unas semanas y ya quise regalárselo. Lo compré al final por Amazon y la verdad es que el libro es super didáctico; enseña muy bien y con muchísimos detalles todo lo relacionado con Egipto, las momias, las pirámides y todo el misterio de las creencias egipcias. Viene con pequeños desplegables para ir descubriendo los tesoros de egipto poco a poco, así como partes con las que interactuar como un juego de mesa que se jugaba en aquella época, una carta como si fueras un explorador, y demás partes que hacen que el libro sea una pequeña maravilla a un precio muy bueno. Mi sobrino se lo lleva a todos los sitios para enseñarlo: al cole, a la familia, a los amigos... Tiene 6 años y es una buena edad para que aprecien estas cosas. En mi caso el que el libro sea en inglés no es un problema porque es bilingüe y aunque hay conceptos algo complicados lo entiende muy bien. Muy recomendable. Compraré más si hay temáticas que me interesen. Read more

Alike many others, I was attracted by the cover and decided to get one for myself as the used one was only £3! The condition is excellent with only a few scratches at the back cover, which are unobvious. The content is interesting with pictures, photos, maps and letters. I am always fond of egyptology and learn some new stuff here even I have already read lots of books and articles regarding the topic. The difference between facsimiles of journals and academics is that the latter either focus on a subject matter (e.g. Tutankhamun or Ramesses II, etc.) or describe the long history in general. Whereas the former followed the path of the expedition team and introduced different places they visited with more pictures and graphs. It increases your knowledge on Egypt in a broader sense (at least to an amateur). Overall I love the book so much that I decide to buy a few more in the collection. Read more

Beautifully done. Educational. Great addition to the series. Will buy the others. Read more

I had this book years ago when I was a preteen. It meant so much to me. So when I came across it on Amazon, I realized that I needed to buy it again. It's so special and magical! Everything about this book (and the whole series of books - about dragons and witchcraft) is incredible! Read more

Son originally found this book in the library, he loved it so much we brought one. The story, the opportunity with the book to have items to touch eg “gem” on front cover, “mummy cloth”, captured my reluctant reader aged 8 imagination. It’s one of the few books he still returns to read and has started copying some of the pictures for school show and tell ahead of studying Egyptology in history. Worth every penny. Read more

Such a cool book filled with lots of information, activities and shear fun. Read more

Un libro mágico para los amantes más jovenes de Egipto. Read more

What an awesome book. My second grader read it at school and asked if we could pick it up - so we did - because you can't argue logic with a feral eight year old. He loves it. Chock full of Egyptian history - which only goes to further his enjoyment of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Read more

Me encantó el libro, fue lo que esperaba Read more
