The Curse of the Pharaohs: My Adventures with Mummies

Many people still believe that, should someone disturb the resting place of the ancient Egyptians, they will be struck down with the 'curse of the mummies'. This book explores the myths and legends that surround the curse, as well as describing the archaeological excavations that contributed to our understanding.
Written by world-reknowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, this book is aimed at children aged 9-12. It is wonderfully illustrated using full-colour photography.
