By Marcia Williams: Pub. 2012
Nine stories of Ancient Egypt, wittily retold in comic-strip style. Full of mystery and adventure,
the stories of the Egyptian pharaohs and their ancient gods are steeped in
thousands of years of history. From the creation myth to the curse of
Tutankhamen and the fall of Cleopatra, Marcia Williams' classic comic strip
retellings bring new life to the myths and wonders of this ancient
civilization.
Although you may not agree with the ideology in this book, and it's emphasis on the religiosity of the time, it is a great study of ancient Egypt in a fun, interactive way, with it's comic book-like strips and sense of humour used in the timeline at the bottom quarter of the page.
