 Egyptology is not a fantasy adventure May 28, 2007
7 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book is very nice to explore (especially for children). However, as a professional, degree-holding Egyptologist myself, I find it insulting to place my work alongside Dragonology and Pirateology. Egyptology exists in the real world, and it is truly fascinating (which is why I have devoted my life to it). Too often, people ignore the realities of the field, preferring its fantastic versions. In my opinion, this hurts the perception of ancient Egypt as a whole.
That being said, this book is well-made and would be fun for children to explore. Buy your children this book to pique their interest in the field, and maybe eventually gear them towards more accurate representations of the Egyptian past.

This is a great book to introduce kids to ancient egypt history. It is fun and easy to read. The cover is interesting and attractive. My son likes this book a lot and is using it to support basic facts in a school project.
 Great book May 12, 2007

This book is much like all the others in the series. It's very well made and nice looking and the kids love to explore all the pockets and envelopes inside. The price is great and I would recommend any of these books.
Amazing book, best gift for a young teen May 7, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is one of the most memorable presents I have given to my sister. It is really good for young kids because it includes lots of mysteries that the reader has to solve. The pages are extremely beautiful and original and the book really looks fancy. I haven't read it, however my sister is fascinated by it and has requested other books from the series.
Egyptology an 'Ology book March 29, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love the 'Ology books. This is fun, beautifully done, there is a game included, it is supposed to be the discovery of an old journal of a trip to Egypt and the search for the tomb of Osiris. The back of the book has little tags and things in it, the journal story is an adventure.
On a side note, recently, the tomb of Osirus was discovered underground and I got a photo drawing of how it looked before it got waterlogged, and put that in my book for fun.
