Take a romp into the past and meet the dudes who made history happen. Thousands of years ago, a mighty civilisation flourished on the banks of the River Nile. Its people built incredible pyramids and temples, worshipped their kings and queens as gods, and used tortoise brains as a cure for eyesight problems. Come face-to-face with a wig maker who reveals the bald truth about hairstyles, visit a gang of tomb raiders who'll show how they stole incredible treasures and join troublemaking Pharaoh Akhenaten who explains why he tried to change everyone's religion. Illustrated by Rich Cando, creator of "Star Dudes". History just got hilarious.
