Knowledge of this splendid culture comes to us through significant archaeological finds, such as royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, which contained not only mummies, but exquisite artifacts as well. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone eventually led to the decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Ancient Egypt still holds many mysteries.

Although it's simple, but contains information beneficial to Egyptians themselves.

Sebenarnya malah banyak belajar sejarah mesir dari Kane bersaudara 😁😁 dan dari seri mitologi yg juga diterbitkan NetGeo. Sekali lagi ini seri selidik arkeologi, dan foto-fotonya tjakep sekali, misalnya foto batu rosetta yang amat sangat apik, atau foto-foto tentang sejarah proses permumian yang biasanya cuma lihat di film👍🏻

Kirain majalahnya tebel gitu. Gataunya tipis. Maklum beli diskonan online. Penjelasannya mudah dimengerti, ringkas dan informatif. Tapi masih penasaran sm Ancient Egypt. Apa harus sampe beli ensiklopedia DK atau Ology series ya tapi lebih enak liat liputannya di Natgeo sih 😅

[Eko Setyo Wacono]

arkeologi adalah ilmu yang selalu berkembang, setiap penemuan-penemuan baru mengungkap misteri dan teka-teki yang tak terpecahkan sebelumnya. buku ini mengungkap sejarah peradaban mesir kuno secara garis besar dengan sangat menarik, mulai dari masa kerajaan lama hingga masa ketika tanah mesir dikuasai oleh bangsa yunani. dilengkapi dengan penjelasan yang detail dan foto-foto menarik khas national geographic menjadikan buku ini sangat patut dijadikan referensi untuk menyukai arkeologi maupun sejarah. really worth reading.

Sejarah Mesir Kuno yang ringkas dan enak dibaca. Cocok untuk dibaca anak-anak juga. Fakta-fakta diceritakan secara menarik disertai foto-foto. Yang saya suka cetakan NatGeo ini kertasnya glossy, tebal sehingga awet disimpan lama.

[Youssef Eldeheiby]

Simple, informative and summarized

[Shannon]

Highly readable, new take on a traditional textbook. Dense with information, but written in a narrative form.

[Reeds]

For a children's book, this is packed with information which is probably to be expected from Nat-Geo. It was pretty neat to learn about the history of hieroglyphics.

[Δάσκαλος]

Terjemahan enak dibaca. Foto dan ilustrasi bagus-bagus.

[Anita Ainunnimah]

I imagined if 100000 years later, we we will be investigated by scientists in the future

[Autumn]

Enak untuk dibaca dan isinya engga sampai yang terlalu berat atau terlalu sejarah banget. overall ok untuk dibaca anak remaja hingga dewasa.

[Intan Laniska]

Saran saya buku ini belinya pas lagi diskon aja, atau sekalian baca di perpustakaan.

[MaryAnne]

Fascinating overview of archeological findings in Egypt. Nice photographs.

[cule]

[Karina]

This book is about how the ancient civilization of Egypt was more than 1000 years ago and what archaeologists find such as artifacts to talk about.
