Who were the ancient Egyptians? Why did they mummify their dead? Why did they bury people with their possessions? And why do mummies still fascinate us today? The remains of seven mummies from the world-famous British Museum can answer these questions and many more. From Ginger, a simple prehistoric farmer, to Katebet, a wealthy woman buried with her jewelry, to Hornedjitef, a grand priest of Amun, the lives and culture of ancient Egyptians are uncovered in thrilling detail. Nearly a hundred color photographs detail what these people looked like, how they worked, the foods they ate, and why they prepared so elaborately for the afterlife--revealing that the life of ordinary Egyptians was different, and yet not so different, from our lives today.… (meer)

Great informational book about life in ancient Egypt, their burial customs, and how archaeologists excavate the tombs. This book also looks at the remains of several mummies, including a farmer, a wealthy woman, and a high priest. (

This book not only allows students a look at more general information regarding Ancient Egypt, but also allows for more detailed information regarding specific information on Egyptian individuals whose mummies have been studied. The inclusion of real life museum photos is likely to keep students engaged and reading the information, and as such is something I would readily use in an Egypt unit. The text balances photos and text well and moves at a good pace, never staying on the same topic for too long.

This is a very detailed book of Ancient Egyptian practices. Readers learn general information about mummies, and the things these ancient peoples made. The book contains several images from excavated tombs of mummies, allowing readers to learn all they can about this topic. The author has included several examples of mummifies people, such as Ginger and Katebet. Readers are shown the different ways these bodies were stored (coffins and sarcophagus’), as well as mummified cats that these people brought with them. This is a very useful resource for readers interested in these ancient peoples.

This book was written to interest children in grades 3-6 and is on a 7.8 reading level. (
