About this product

Product Information

Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt through a fascinating journal from a lost expedition -- a treasure trove of fact and fantasy featuring a novelty element on every spread. Who can resist the allure of ancient Egypt -- and the thrill of uncovering mysteries that have lain hidden for thousands of years? Not the feisty Miss Emily Sands, who in 1926, four years after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, led an expedition up the Nile in search of the tomb of the god Osiris. Alas, Miss Sands and crew soon vanished into the desert, never to be seen again. But luckily, her keen observations live on in the form of a lovingly kept journal, full of drawings, photographs, booklets, foldout maps, postcards, and many other intriguing samples. Here are just a few of Egyptology's special features: -- an extravagantly gilded cover, featuring a raised Horus hawk pendant with three encrusted gems -- a playable game of Senet -- ancient Egyptian checkers -- including board, pieces, original-style dice, and rules -- a souvenir booklet showing how to read simple hieroglyphs -- a scrap of textured "mummy cloth" -- a large, jeweled Eye of Re "amulet" embedded in the last page of the book Rich with information about life in ancient Egypt and peppered with Miss Sands's lively narration, Egyptology concludes with a letter from the former Keeper of Antiquities at the British Museum, explaining which parts of this unique tale may be accepted as fact, which are guided by legend, and which reflect the author's delightful sense of fancy.

    Interesting book

    I had this book awhile back, but lost it. So glad I bought this book. If anyone is looking for something interesting to read, I'd pick a copy of this up. The book was shipped fast and had no damages. What you see is what you get.

  • EGYPTOLOGY - CANDLEWICK PRESS, 2004

    I OWE MY GRANDSON, (AGE 11), A SOUVINEER FROM MY TRIP TO EGYPT, AND THIS IS PERFECT! IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT HAD I SEEN IT THERE. THIS BOOK IS LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL LOOKING, FUN WITHOUT BEING TOO JUVENILE, AND INFORMATIVE WITHOUT BEING BORING OR PUSHY. I LIKE IT SO MUCH I'VE BOUGHT A 2ND. COPY TO KEEP FOR MYSELF TO SHARE WITH MY YOUNGER GRANDCHILDREN HERE IN MICHIGAN! MY 20 YR. OLD DAUGHTER WAS HERE WHEN I OPENED THE PACKAGE, AND IS STILL LOOKING THROUGH IT WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE. I IMAGINE THIS BOOK WILL BE ON & OFF THE SHELF FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
