Look Inside an Egyptian Tomb by Brian Moses

Look Inside an Egyptian Tomb by Brian Moses

Each spread in this book focuses on a different object found in an Egyptian tomb, where relics were buried with the pharaohs. The text then uses these burial goods, such as wall paintings and even a mummified baboon to explore life and death in Ancient Egypt.

The idea of the 'Look Inside' series is elegant.. The format is generous with contemporary prints and photographs, and eyewitness quotations (many of them footnoted, something unique in a book for this age group)... And where there is rich evidence, the past emerges in all its complexity. - Books for Keeps
