Tales Of Ancient Egypt: Myths & Adventures from the Land of the Pyramids
$24.99
Discover amazing true stories and breathtaking myths from ancient Egypt in this book by Egyptologist Hugo Cook.
Everyone knows the story of Tutankhamun, but the ancient Egyptian civilization lasted for more than 3,000 years - which means there are loads more amazing tales to be told! Hugo Cook has scoured ancient texts and translated hieroglyphs to bring readers stories of love, betrayal, and royal scandal featuring pharaohs, priests, gods, and goddesses. The book combines historical stories, including the time Cleopatra hid in a sack to be smuggled into a palace to meet Julius Caesar, with rip-roaring myths, like the Cinderella story of a peasant girl who married the pharaoh when he found her slipper.
