pharaohs

A graphic novel adaptation of the book in which the authors relate the findings of their investigation into the death of King Tut, contending that the boy king was murdered and did not, as many believe, die of disease. Includes the story of Howard Carter's search for and discovery of King Tut's tomb.

Contains seventeen biographical essays, speeches, and writings that trace the pharaohs of Egypt from Menes, the first ruler to unite both kingdoms in the first dynasty to Cleopatra during the Ptolemaic Dynasty in 31 BC, and includes profiles of Ramesses II, Akhenaten, and Tutankhamen.

Uses commentary, film footage, and reconstructions to explore the pyramids and cities of Egypt in the time of the pharoahs, looking at the Nile, the pyramids of Giza and Sakkara, mummies, the Sphinx, Memphis, the Temple of Luxor, Ammon at Karnak, and the Left Bank, and discusses aspects of ancient Egyptian society and culture.

Follows the history of the sphinx of Pharoah Hatshepust from its creation in ancient Egypt to New York City's Metropolitan Museum.

Examines the world of the ancient Egyptians using a fictional story about a royal scribe as framework.

Describes the activities in a day in the life of a pharaoh, including getting dressed, making offerings, judging, hunting, and visiting his future tomb, and features "fact or fiction" questions throughout.
