Horrible Histories: Awful Egyptians

Horrible Histories: Awful Egyptians by Terry Deary (Illustrated by Martin Brown)
Unwrap the revolting truths of the Awful Egyptians and discover why their history was anything but glamorous! Find out why the Egyptians worshipped a dung beetle, which pharaoh married her own grandfather, and what the job of “Shepherd of the Royal Backside” involved. With Terry Deary’s wicked humour and Martin Brown’s brilliant illustrations, this book digs up the most gruesome, gory, and giggle-worthy facts from the land of pyramids and pharaohs. Packed with tombs, curses, and some very questionable beauty tips, it’s history at its most horribly hilarious.
