Temples, Tombs & Hieroglyphs: A Popular History of Ancient Egypt by Barbara Mertz
3.0
This book covers the history of Ancient Egypt from the Stone Age settlements through to the reign of Cleopatra and the Roman Invasion. While this was very interesting, it is a bit dated at this point since it was written in 1964. Also, some of this information is biased, but she does usually inform you of it, so you need to be aware of that going into this.
Overall, while this was informative, it was also a bit overwhelming with the amount of information presented in it, especially in the audio format. Also, I could have done with less opinions and speculations and more of the facts as they were known at the time.
Also, I didn’t know before I started reading this book that Barbara Mertz is also Elizabeth Peters, and I love that she also writes nonfiction.
