Fascinating archaeology!

Ancient Egypt, a volume from the "History Beneath Your Feet" series, explores our knowledge of what life was like in ancient Egypt based on archaeological findings. I would recommend this series for elementary or middle schools and public libraries. Each page includes informative, easy to understand text with helpful explanations of more complicated concepts. Specific events, places or people are highlighted in detail boxes. Stunning color photo spreads peak reader interest. Topics covered include archaeological, forensic and preservation techniques, pyramid building, tomb design, heiroglyphs and what they mean, the discovery of Tutankhamun, and the future of archaeology using computer technology. A glossary, a full-color timeline and a detailed index make this book an excellent reference book for young readers.
