History with the nasty bits left in. Awful information about phabulous Pharoahs, mean mummies, revolting recipes for 3000 year old sweets, and more. History has never been so horrible! For 9-12 year olds.

Very interesting and blew my mind because of the facts about Egyptians! It was a factual book and I found the mummies very interesting and the people built the pyramids naked. It was cool reading the differences between pharaohs and peasants. I would recommended you read this but not sensitive people

This is a brilliant read but not suitable for under 5s as it has scary bits.

I thought this book was really cool. I found out a lot of useful and interesting facts and pieces of information from this book. There are lots of facts that you can used in a report or essay, like I did, and a lot of them are really shocking and surprising. I recommend this book because it’s good and I also recommend that you watch the horrible histories tv show!
