The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

Christopher Knight, Robert Lomas

Fair Winds Press, 2001

The Hiram Key
This was an excellent and informative book. Much research and thought went into it's creation. Through the intent, focus, and dedication of these two authors, to uncover the truth, the law of attraction came into play and syncronized the process of discovery. It has ...

Before the Pharaohs: Egypt's Mysterious Prehistory

Edward F. Malkowski

Bear & Company, 2005

A book with real evidence!
The previous reviewer had a very reasonable complaint that the book was difficult to wade through because of the sheer volume of material devoted to seemingly irrelevant evidence. I would counter that many of the other books which delve into the prehistory of Egypt ...

Nefertiti: A Novel

Michelle Moran

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Couldn't put it down...
As an avid reader of historical fiction, I found this book to be very intriguing and addictive. The cover was what caught my attention in the bookstore, and I decided to give it a go. It started a bit slow for me, but picked up very quickly after a few chapters. The ...

The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt (Landmark Books)

Elizabeth Payne

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1981

An Effective Introduction to Ancient Egypt for Children
Written for children who are independent readers, Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt was, nevertheless, a fascinating introduction to Ancient Egypt for all my children. My younger daughter was in first grade at the time and needed some help with the reading, but the stories ...

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs: Official Companion Book to the Exhibition sponsored by ...

Zahi Hawass

National Geographic, 2005

Very good book
I bought the book before seeing the tour in Philly. The book is very well done, and very good representation of the tour. Beautiful photographs, plus good rich text around the history of the 18th dynasty. Other reviews talk about the tour, which isn't really what ...

The Heretic Queen: A Novel

Michelle Moran

Crown, 2008

Michelle Moran hits a home run with her second novel!
Having read and enjoyed Nefertiti, I was really looking forward to reading this novel. I admit it was with a little trepidation as so often a much anticipated novel fails to live up to expectations, at least mine anyway!! I'm happy to report that this novel not only ...

Who Was King Tut? (Who Was...?)

Roberta Edwards

Grosset & Dunlap, 2006

Tut is in Town
The Tut exhibit is in town this summer and I wanted to be able to provide some information to my seven year old before we went. This book was absolutely the right amount of information for the 7-10 year old age group. We enjoyed it so much that we have purchased ...

Mummies, Pyramids, and Pharaohs: A Book About Ancient Egypt

Gail Gibbons

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2004

A highly recommended nonfiction book
Gail Gibbons' Mummies, Pyramids, And Pharaohs is a children's picturebook that explores daily life and belief in the afterlife among the people of ancient Egypt. Aptly researched and presented in plain terms along with color illustrations stylistically reminiscent of ...

Tutankhamen's Gift

Aladdin, 1997

Splendid Egyptian Art
I love Robert Sabuda's work and this is no exception! The problem with trying to interest young children in ancient history is that little is written in biographical fashion for young readers. Apart from encyclopedia or fact books, there are few good books on the ...

Intriguing Historical Biography
With a use of the historical and archaeological evidence from various places in Egypt and beyond, an Oxford-educated Joyce Tyldesley has written a well-detailed biography book entitled "Hatchepsut: The Female Pharaoh." The book, as similar to her Nefertiti: Unlocking ...

In Pharaoh's Army: Memories of the Lost War

Tobias Wolff

Vintage, 1995

Pharaohs Army a Great Read
Once I started reading this book, it was so totally engrossing, I finished it in 2 days. It's a rather self-deprecating telling of his experiences as a US Army Special Forces advisor to the South Vietnamese in 1968-69 during the Tet Offensive. It is not a "war story" ...
