Editorial Review: Product Description: A new discovery from the publishers of DRAGONOLOGY! Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt through a fascinating journal from a lost expedition - a treasure trove of fact and fantasy featuring a novelty element on every spread. Here are just a few of EYGPTOLOGY's special features: 1) an extravagantly gilded cover, featuring a raised Horus hawk pendant with three encrusted gems 2) a playable game of Senet(ancient Egyptian checkers) including playing board, pieces, original-style dice, and rules 3) a souvenir booklet showing how to read simple hieroglyphs 4) a scrap of 'mummy cloth' 5) a facsimile of the gilded mummy mask of King Tut 6) a gilded eye-of-Horus amulet with a 'jewel' 7) fold-out maps 8) drawings and photographs 9) period postcards 10) a letter from the former Keeper of Antiquities at the British Museum, explaining which parts of this unique tale may be accepted as fact, which are guided by legend, and which reflect the author's delightful sense of fancy. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fun, Intriguing BookThis is a great book for kids who enjoy interactive creative reads. The extras are always nice to accompany these books. The Egyptology book was snapped up by my students and they loved it. It was quite enjoyable to them and they read more than they often do in books. The big eye was really interesting to them. Rating: - good booklots of good information for the younger reader. Also a good segway into more involved books. Rating:  - Not as good as I expectedI was actually disappointed in this Ology book. I have two others and the way the information is presented in them plus the little extras were just better in those. There weren't as many exciting extras in this one as I expected and the "mummy cloth" example was a bit disappointing. I bought this for my daughter and she became bored quickly due to the confusing way the pages were written and presented. I am hoping the next Ology I choose will be more like the first two I have. Rating:  - A beautiful bookMy sister loved this book. It is beautifully drawn, illustrated, and written. There are many wonderful pull outs and the budding archaeologist in our family loved it. :D Rating: - Great!I had been looking at this book for about a year and was on the fence about buying it. The main reason was because it was 20-25 dollars everywhere. When I saw it for under 14 on Amazon I knew it was a bargain! It's wrapped up safe under my tree and I know my daughter will love it! |
