I am a Primary teacher, and I bought this book for my class, as we're studying Egypt next term. I think it's absolutely brilliant for the 8-11 age range, as there's so much that they can do. They loved Dragonology, and I think that this book is even better!

I wasn't even aware that this book was supposed to be for children when I first saw it in the shops. Having seen me admire it, my girlfriend bought it for me last Christmas.
I adore it. I've never seen a book so lovingly put together and beautifully illustrated. Despite being short, a lot of work clearly went into this work. Reading it is like walking through a museum full of ancient Egyptian artifacts and treasures. An absolute must for anybody with an interest in ancient Egypt or novelty books.

Egyptology is simply brilliant.Like the rest of the templar family Egyptology is both practical and pretty with charts of international distances mingling with beautifully drawn illustrations,with a playable senet game and intricate models this Emily Sands book is also a practical introducion to egyptology.This cleverly written book should be treasured and adored because in literature there are very few equals.Please buy this book and if you like then there is a world of excellent templar books out there.Thanks for reading from Master George David Bell.
