### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great for Young Archaeologists or Mystery Lovers
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2009*

I bought this book because it is recommended on the Livingmath.net booklists.  Although there's not a lot of actual math in the book, it's a great living book for touching on archaeology, critical thinking, and Ancient Egypt (specifically burial practices). I am not disappointed with my purchase.It's laid out somewhat like a scrapbook with lots of sidebar notes, postcards, and sketches adorning the basic story's text. Plenty of other reviews have covered the story itself, so I won't go into that. What I liked about the book is that it's a view of Ancient Egypt from an early 19th century archaeologist's perspective. The modern Egyptians also play a part in the story; it's not all about the American scientists.If you have a child who loves archaeology and solving mysteries, this book will be a winner. My daughter enjoyed coming up with her own explanations as we read through the book. Actually the mystery is not definitively solved. There are two possibilities, but the open-ended nature of the tomb's discovery is a great opportunity to practice logical thinking - does your explanation fit the facts?

    informative and entertaining at most age levels
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2011*

For our summer homeschool unit on Egypt - this book is fascinating.  I have a family of boys -- the youngest is 6 - and we all enjoyed and used this book.  It describes an archaeological adventure undertaken by a boy (11 years old?) and his family in 1924.  (The boy is fictitious, the dig was a real event.)The scrapbook style shows money and postage stamps, maps, brochures, and timetables.  The information is broken into chunks, with letters and postcards from the boy to a friend back home carrying the plot forward.  Very fine illustrations and descriptions of how a systematic archaeological dig works. Best of all: the mystery about this particular burial still persists.  It's a very engaging book - problem solving, adventure, great illustrations, and a very good text.(Book tie-in: Let's-Read-and-Find-Out-Science has a very good archeology book called "Archaeologists Dig For Clues")Older children can try their hand at producing hieroglyphics in this book; younger children can copy shapes and patterns from Egyptian artifacts or even string beads in some of the colors shown in the book.Vocabulary builders; vizier, sarcophagus, natron, amulets, jumble
