One of the oldest nations in the world, ancient Egypt is full of mystery. The royal family favored close-kin marriages, and pharaohs vied to take their own sisters as wives in order to produce heirs with pure bloodlines. Cats were the ancient Egyptians' most beloved animals. To produce cat mummies, many "sacred cats" had their necks broken before they were even two years old. Spells were inscribed in the tomb of Tutankhamun, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. After the tomb was opened, the spells came true, and the people involved in its excavation were taken by the Grim Reaper one after another. Before the towering Pyramid of Khafre at Giza stands a sphinx, leaving people to wonder whose face it bears and why its body is that of a lion...
Step into the mysterious land of the pharaohs, and perhaps we can transmigrate through the ages to experience the many astonishing wonders of the pharaonic dynasties and appreciate one of the world's greatest ancient civilizations.
This book is like a mysterious door to ancient Egypt, taking me through that mysterious country. I was amazed by the pharaohs in the book who married close relatives for pure blood. And the mysterious spells and cat mummies made me full of curiosity about the culture of ancient Egypt. Just like the author said, walking into the country of the Pharaohs and feeling its incredibleness may be the charm of this book.
Very good and easy to understand.
The back part is more exciting
