Egyptian Mummies: Unraveling the Secrets of an Ancient Art
YA?Brier explains the philosophical and spiritual ideas and tenets that nurtured mummification, but this book is mainly a description of its history, methods, how each pharoah was found and by what process unwound, and how the mummy has been portrayed in modern film and fiction. YAs should enjoy this title?the pace is lively and some sections can be skimmed without losing a sense of the whole.
