Mõtlema panev raamat. Esiteks mõtlesin, et kes küll selle raamatu lugejaskond võiks olla. Raamat on Antiik-Egiptusega mitte just "sina" peal olevale tavalugejale üheaegselt liiga detailirohke, ent samas liiga lühike. Faktid, faktid ja muud suurt midagi. Järgmiseks mõtlesin, et miks kirjeldada pikalt püramiidide käike, lihtsam oleks üks joonis lisada. Fotosid raamatus siiski oli, aga mitte minule enim huvi pakkuvatest templitest. Samas oli ka fotosid, millele jäädvustatud objekte mina tekstist ei leidnud. Kokkuvõttes ma eriti rahule ei jäänud kahjuks.

This book is very similar to Usborne's "Who Built the Pyramids?" in both content and layout, it seems to be the older version of this book from the 70s. I found a copy at a library book sale for a quarter and it made its way into my library. I should warn that an illustration of a party at the royal palace includes topless dancers, haha.

This is the most amazing non-fiction book on Ancient Egypt ever! As a kid, Ancient Egypt was an enormous obsession for me, and this is the book that got me into it.
It makes the ancient historical setting come alive, in a way that appeals to children.
Great book!

A favourite with my children, and with me as the reader. Soon, I get to start the grandchildren on them!
