“Thousands of years ago, long before the dawn of the dynastic age, the prehistoric Egyptians buried their dead in swallow, oval pits dug into the hot desert sands.”
Follows the history of Egyptian mummies from the dynastic age to the present day. Discusses customs and techniques of mummification as well as how the media has influenced the general public's belief about the practice. by Joyce A. Tyldesley
