The Ancient Egyptians
Professor of Latin David West
Paperback (Gareth Stevens Publishing, Aug. 15, 2016)Fascination with ancient Egypt hasnt diminished even though 2,000 years have passed since Cleopatras tragic concluding reign.

In this striking volume, readers are transported to ancient Egypt through accessible text and gorgeous artwork.
