Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-05 00:00:00 Darrell James A decent entry-level book aimed at middle-school students. However, the editing should have caught the two verb-form mistakes (begat is the past tense), and I believe there was an anachronistic vegetable. Maybe because I am old and jaded I found some of the attempts at humour to be a bit strained.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-08 00:00:00 Ares Fan Check out all my reviews on My Blog Middle-school ancient history covering from the earliest records of ancient Egypt through the 3rd Intermediate Age with a brief synopsis covering the Ptolemys through Cleopatra and Rome. This looks at not just the lives of the Pharaohs and the gods of Egypt but also how the common man lived, the advancements they made throughout the ages, their art and literature, and the discoveries that have led to our current understanding of their culture. I love this series so much and it really makes the high school world history I'm having to read just look awful in comparison as we learn so much about each culture, not just what they did but what we believe are the reasons behind what they did and how we came to those conclusions. It's not just boring and dry names and dates with little else behind it but works hard to bring it more alive.
