Step back to an awfully ancient time when pharaohs were phoul, servants
suffered and everyone believed in an awesome afterlife. Discover
the dire details of mummy-making, the truth about Tutankhamun
and his creepy curse and find out why people worshipped a dung
beetle.

History with the nasty bits left in! 2013 is HORRIBLE HISTORIES twentieth anniversary.

Through out this book ,there are many illustrations explaining the activities about the Egyptians back in the 3000BC. This book is a factual book and this is interesting me about Tutankhamun, and Awful army. I would like to recommend this to my year 4 class because it is funny but also teaches you about interesting Egyptian facts.
