Temples, Tombs & Hieroglyphs: A Popular History of Ancient Egypt by Barbara Mertz

4.0

A rousing enjoyable read. Ms. Mertz takes us on a historical journey from the beginning of recorded history in Egypt through to the conquest of that land by Rome. She spends an extensive amount of time on the heretic Akhenaton, but we all must be allowed our favorites. I most appreciate her presentation of both facts and her own theories. She never pretends her theories are more than that, unlike some scholars who tout theories as fact. Definitely highly recommend this for students of Egyptology at any level.
