Using papyri, scarabs, tomb inscriptions, mummies, and a rich variety of other primary sources, Eric H. Cline and Jill Rubalcaba uncover the fascinating history of ancient Egypt.

For a worker who has had a stone fall on his head, it suggests: \"bind it with fresh meat . . . and treat afterward with grease, honey and lint.\" A complex recipe for a top-of-the-line mummy describes a process that could take 70 days and involved drawing the brain out through the nose with a crooked piece of iron. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese primary sources also tell the stories of the people of ancient Egypt: Pepi II, the six-year-old boy king who commanded armies; Ramesses II, whose mortuary temple boasts of his expertise in battle against the Hittites; Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman to rule Egypt as pharaoh; and Cleopatra, who courted Roman statesman Mark Antony as part of her quest to extend the Egyptian empire. \u003cem\u003eThe Ancient Egyptian World\u003c\/em\u003e honors the history of a civilization whose monuments and tombs still capture the imagination of the world thousands of years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric H.
