Every time I visit my childhood home, I lose some space. Here I remove some of my t-shirts, here is a drawer I can empty so my parents can use it.
And every single time, I find some of my childhood treasures. This time I found all of my Egypt related books. I had so many of them which I read start to finish; I had dozens of bookmarks in them! Yeah, I can blame my love of the Stargate series and my wish to be an archaeologist (or to join the air force depending on the day you asked me).
I probably read all of these books more time than I did the Harry Potter and that's an achievement!

But, there is nothing to say, even years later I still enjoy reading this and flipping through the pages brings me immense happiness. And with certainty, I can say that I will never get rid of this book.
