Mouldy Mummies by Mary Dobson

Lose yourself in the aromas of ancient Egypt, from the fragrant pharaohs in their palaces, to the sweaty laborers building the pyramids. Making mummies of the dead was a very smelly business--and unwrapping them thousands of years later was even worse. (Poor Tutenkhamun's finger came off with his bandages.) For sweet relief, pick up some beauty tips from the indisputed queen of the Nile--Cleopatra.
