I hope you have a wonderful evening and that you'll stop by for a visit sometime when you get the chance. :) I also have a giveaway going on right now if you’d like to enter. <br />Leigh Ann<br /><a href="http://mamasbookcorner.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">MaMa's Book Corner</a><br />Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350836127535007609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-72577623402700971322013-03-27T20:30:59.263+00:002013-03-27T20:30:59.263+00:00I've taught Ancient Egypt to year 3 and childr...I've taught Ancient Egypt to year 3 and children always love it, it's just so interesting.

This sounds like a fascinating read but probably not something to get me back into the subject.

Maybe not so much anymore but definitely when I was younger. I was convinced that I would one day explore the inside of those pyramids and call it my job. However, things change and you grow up. I still would like to visit but don't see uncovering some great treasure anytime soon. It's really sad when you really dig deep and learn about the ways in which artifacts were discarded or mishandled. It's a shame that it wasn't common sense that cutting a sarcophagus in half would be a bad idea. I guess it's like reading about the plague and thinking "why aren't you just washing your hands and like getting rid of the bodies?!" Blown up with dynamite?! I can't even comment..<br />Sounds like an interesting read even if it is a little heartbreaking.

Because I'm interested enough in Egyptology to plow through a lot of details, but if Fagan's assuming a high level of knowledge about ancient Egyptian history, I will get lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
