I've read one more book on Egypt, "Dictionary on Civilization. Egypt", a little bit different from all the rest I read before. It is more like a guide into Ancient Egyptian history, highlighting the most important archaeological discoveries, most prominent rulers and most interesting facts.
This book was quite pleasant to read as it is stuffed with beautiful quality illustrations and the text is organized in short paragraphs including only relevant information. It makes the book a perfect choice for those who are going to Egypt and wish to be informed or those who just want to know a little more about it without reading boring encyclopedic volumes. I'd say that this book is like a magazine.
Can't say a lot about it, except that I made a few fascinating discoveries, which will probably help me when I'll be writing the third part of my detective series about Cassandra Ayers.
