Good pickup
Picked this up as a coffee table book and ended up reading way more than I thought. The photos are stunning—loads of tomb art, statues, and artifacts—and it’s laid out in a way that’s easy to dip in and out of. Covers the dynasties, pharaohs, daily life, all that good stuff. Bit surface-level if you’re deep into Egyptology, but perfect if you just want something beautiful and informative to flip through.

Super book on Egyptology!
This book is a wonderfully illustrated and very informative book for anyone interested in Egyptology. The seller posted this previously owned book as ‘good’ under condition; it was actually as good as new so the price I paid was very good. Quickly dispatched, arrived quickly and packaged well. What’s not to love?!

Yorgunken dahi okunur
Aslında efsaneleri mitleri okumak istiyordum ve bu kitabı almayı hep erteledim. Yanlıs yapmısım.Hic sıkmıyor. birsey bilmeden merakla bakan okuyucuya ciddiyetle ama yormadan mısırı anlatıyor. Bazen kısa yazmak uzun uzun anlatmaktan daha zor olur. Her sayfayı cevirdiğinizde, yeni bir anlatı baslıyor
