The civilization of ancient Egypt flourished along the banks of the Nile for almost 3000 years. Many of their great monuments still stand for later generations to wonder at, but there is also a wealth of evidence about the ordinary lives, work and beliefs of the Egyptian people. This colourfully illustrated book shows children how ancient Egyptian people lived, how they farmed, what they wore and ate each day. The book also describes their religious beliefs, including the underworld, and shows how they built their pyramids, temples and tombs. Acetate overlays allow the reader to incover the secrets of four important Egyptian topics. Lift the lid on a mummy; look inside the secret shrine at the heart of a temple; uncover the hidden treasures of a tomb in the Valley of the Kings; and enter the village home of an ordinary Egyptian family.
