I think that those Egyptian people are really gross because they used to stick a hook up the dead person's nose and used to pull the brain out!!!!

Cleopatra was the best person in my opinion . The mystery of Cleopatra's death was amazing because there is not one possibility there is thousands.

I thought that this book was interesting and I have learnt a lot like Cleopatra was the last Egyptian pharaoh. I would recommend this book to everyone so that it can help them in the future.

I loved this book because it taught you in the ancient time there was Egyptians and they were awesome! There reason I really liked this book is because it didn't only just had a fun quiz and the end that you had to answer just for fun just to test you Egyptian mind I made my own book ( not in stores by the way so don't get your hopes up to buy my book) called terrible King Tut! So I really enjoyed this book so much and really watch horrible histories!

This was a great addition to the "Horrible Histories" series! It was very funny, but was very informative too, plus, it helped me to revise knowledge I learned a couple of years ago. DID YOU KNOW? A travelling tribe in Egypt pilfered age-old mummies, and sold them to papermaking companies. The companies tried making "white" paper, using the bandages- but the sheets were poor quality, and they were more successful in making "brown" paper, which they sold to butchers and grocers as packing paper. However, there was a sudden breakout of CHOLERA which was traced back to the mummy sheets. The mummy's curse?....

Awesome Egyptians is a fact book all about the awesome things the Egyptians did, like how to build a pyramid or how to make a mummy and so on. The motto of horrible histories is, It’s History with the Nasty bits left in! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes facts history and gruesomeness over the age of 7. It was fascinating
