Campbell Price Books

Join Greg Jenner and his expert companion, Dr Campbell Price, on their whistle-stop tour of Ancient Egypt. Over 3,000 years of history told in just 156 pages!

From the earliest days of Egypt, even before the Pharaohs made their first appearance, to the last ever Pharaoh to rule, this book takes in all the key figures of Ancient Egyptian history from Ramesses to Tutankhamun and Cleopatra. We learn about family feuds, religious and political turmoil and all kinds of dastardly shenanigans along the way. The book also includes chapters on Ancient Egyptian Gods, pyramid building, Ancient Egyptian medicine and a real-life murder mystery to solve.

Full of myth-busting and fact-checking from a real Egyptologist, many of which may turn what you think you know about Ancient Egypt on its head (was mummification a way of preserving the body or transforming it?).
