Temples, Tombs & Hieroglyphs: A Popular History of Ancient Egypt by Barbara Mertz
5.0
I adored this. It's fun, entertaining and filled with lots of interesting information, never dull or dry.
It's quite obvious that the author knows very well how to engage the readers and now I must go searching for her fictional works :P
Is this a complete history of Ancient Egypt? Nope, and the author tells us that from the beginning, stating that she will go about what interests her, and I had no qualms with it. I enjoyed every minute of it and, as a plus, learn quite a bit. If you have at the less a minimum interest in old archaeology and/or Ancient Egypt, you'll have a good time reading this =D
Lorna Raver's narration is very, very good.
