Reviews

An entertaining and informative introduction to the ancient land of the pharaohs, written with great enthusiasm and humour. New Egyptologists - start here! - Joyce Tyldesley, The Manchester Museum, UK Intrinsically appealing and engrossing, Ryan uses his extensive background in archaeology and Egyptology, along with a refreshing dose of humour, to take readers on an amazing journey through more than 3000 years of Ancient Egyptian history. This must-read book should find its way into every Egyptophile's reading list, and those who have it will not be able to put it down. - Monica Bontty, University of Louisiana, USA
