The DK Eyewitness series was ground-breaking when it was first launched in the 1990s. It’s been given a makeover for the 21st century, with new photos, updated information and fascinating new ‘Eyewitness features’ of first-hand accounts from experts in the field, and it is striking just how startlingly fresh the books look, with their high-quality photographs cut away against a white background, text and captions closely integrated with the pictures.
It’s hard to think of anyone, child or adult, who won’t spend hours engrossed in this exploration of Ancient Egypt, which documents that world with extraordinary and enriching clarity. Images and text open up the lives of Pharaohs and ordinary people alike, through objects that they used, from farming implements and fishing nets, to bowls, jars and jewellery, and children’s toys, all presented with the same care and attention.
It ends with information on where to find out (even) more and it’s a treasure trove of a book.
Travel back in time with this picture-led guide and explore the magnificent monuments and fabulous tombs of ancient Egypt.
