Series: Digging into History

The Ancient Egyptian pyramids along the river Nile are one of the wonders of the world. These world famous sites are places where ancient history

can

still be explored today. These monuments have puzzled and

fascinated archaeologists and historians for hundreds of years. Solving the Mysteries of the Pyramids explores these

amazing ruins and looks in detail at other famous sites, such as the Great Sphinx and at the culture of mummifying the dead; burying them with food, animals, gold, weapons and other offerings for the gods. The book fills in

the

details of how we think the

people who lived there at the time built

and used these amazing tombs. It also explains how some of the

archaeological discoveries were uncovered, which have helped to piece

together our understanding of this fascinating time.
