Egypt Uncovered

This remarkable series, makes the people, culture, and customs of ancient Egypt seen as vivid as if they existed today through superlative production standards, historical accuracy, and a well-developed structure. The six major parts of the series cover religion, government, culture, and daily life in ancient Egypt through the artifacts and hieroglyphic documentation found in tombs, temples, and homes of the period. In many cases, the archaeologist who explored the site is shown on-location and discusses the importance of the find an it has added to our understanding of ancient Egypt. Artifacts are shown in detail, giving as good (or better) a view as one could have in a museum. This excellent series would be an invaluable aid in understanding ancient Egypt, its importance in the ancient world, and the complexity of its society and culture. - School Library Journal/June 1999
