For more than 3,000 years, Egypt was a great civilization that thrived along the banks of the Nile River. But when its cities crumbled to dust, Egypt’s culture and the secrets of its hieroglyphic writings were also lost. The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt explains how archaeologists have pieced together their discoveries to slowly reveal the history of Egypt’s people, its pharaohs, and its golden days. Review: Excellent overview of Egypt for late elementary and up - Excellent reprint version of what I assume is the original Random House Landmark book. A great overview of the civilization appropriate for 10 year olds and up. As an adult I found it interesting and new, solidified a lot of concepts for me. Review: It is a great read - I finished it in a few days. It says it is a Children's book. But it was an adult read to me. It was fascinating only 172 pages. Interesting history.

Excellent overview of Egypt for late elementary and up
Excellent reprint version of what I assume is the original Random House Landmark book. A great overview of the civilization appropriate for 10 year olds and up. As an adult I found it interesting and new, solidified a lot of concepts for me.

I finished it in a few days. It says it is a Children's book. But it was an adult read to me. It was fascinating only 172 pages. Interesting history.

Full of facts - little slow read
Our 7 year old is SUPER into ancient Egypt history and this is a good one, full of facts. A little advanced and a slow read. Fun to learn together!

Ancient Egypt comes alive - walk with the valley people and their God-Kings!
This book is excellent for the Jr & Sr High students in their second cycle of Ancient Egypt. Mrs. Payne provides an excellent, and easy to understand journey through the history of Ancient Egypt. It is an engaging story, with literary license only in minor issues. The maps are well done. Negative - wish there was a timeline and the book was republished in hard cover!

the pharoaohs of anchient egypt (landmark books)
I am enjoying this book tremendously. I wish the pictures were in color, but that's not an issue for me. This book is an easy read and would be great for someone in the early stages of learning about ancient egypt.

The real black history
I felt compelled to start teaching my children about their history before slavery. With the tension going on in this country I’ve always felt I need to be my children first teacher and will continue to do my part

A Good Record of Egyptian Pharaohs
I was looking for a book which speaks about the main Pharaohs from the rise of Egypt and till the end of the glorious kingdom. This record is quite elequently mentioned in this book without dragging every detail. The author also used interesting stories to talk about each important Pharaoh in the book. It was certainly a very good read.

The quality of the book is rather poor. The paper is thin and the print isn't too great either. Images /Photographs in the book are black and white.
