Absolutely delightful and informative

I’m not a very coherent reviewer so I’ll keep this simple: gorgeous, delightful, wonderful book and audiobook. Barbara Mertz writes like the expert she is, but the words are as beautifully dry and full of character (especially when discussing the questionable methods of early archaeologists, or the questionable opinions of current conspiracy theorists). Overall it is sensitive and loving towards the people of ancient Egypt, including those often forgotten from history. The narration is perfectly suited to Mertz’s dry and often salty style.

If you love ancient Egypt I am sure you won’t regret reading or listening to this one.

I agree

I agree with everything Sarah E said in her review. I was not sure I would like it but I really enjoyed the recording and learnt heaps.
