Amazing Facts About Ancient Egypt

---

The first in Thames and Hudson's series of information books that educate as they entertain, "mazing Facts about Ancient Egypt" that Howard Carter's pet canary was swallowed by a cobra on the day Tutankhamun's tomb was opened; that the Egyptians were the first people to hatch eggs artificially; that ritual false beards were worn by queens as well as kings. These are just some of the hundreds of curious, extraordinary, zany, hilarious, but true facts that James Putnam has unearthed and Jeremy Pemberton has illustrated in this book.
