When I heard that Barbara Mertz, who wrote the Amelia Peabody Series, had written some non-fiction books about ancient Egypt, I had to read them. I have read many non-fiction books about ancient Egypt, but none are as great as this one. It almost transports you back to that age and place. So many books just talk about the pharaohs and high priests, but what was really incredible about this book was that it talked about the ordinary people in Egypt. I would definitely recommend this book-and the first of the series, Temples, Tombs, and Hieroplyphs-if you want to learn more about ancient Egypt.
