Far more advanced than any European country at the time, the Egyptians achieved incredible feats of building, created a new way of writing, and revolutionised farming. Find out what life as an ancient Egyptian was actually like, both for pharaohs and ordinary people, in this fascinating new exploration by award-winning author David Long.

There have long been legends of a curse bestowed upon anyone who disturbs the final resting ground of an Egyptian pharaoh. Lore surrounding these curses claim that they may bring bad luck, illness, or even death.

It was one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all things Egyptian—including a desire for the very wealthy to own actual mummies.
