Summary

Unwrap the secrets of the mummies of ancient Egypt, travel to the Kingdom of Osiris, the god of death and rebirth, and open up a long-sealed tomb-if you dare! Richly detailed full-page scenes capture the drama of a pharaoh's funeral and the chilling moment when robbers break into a royal tomb while on a hunt for treasures. Discover the painstaking and grisly work of an embalmer and learn how scientists are using the latest technology to recreate the faces of these long-dead kings and queens. Book jacket.
