 Egyptian
Mummies: Unraveling the Secrets of an Ancient Art by Bob Brier
presents a thorough discussion Egyptian mummification practices. Beginning with a general
introduction, Brier (a college professor) moves on to what historians and scientists know about mummification
techniques in ancient Egypt: from the writers and from studies of the mummies themselves
(two very different points of view).
He also includes chapters on royal
mummies--as well
as another on the "missing mummies"; he gives the mummy of Ramesses II a chapter
to itself. An extra bonus is the final chapter which surveys the mummy in fiction and
film. Many rare photographs (b&w only). Paperback.
Ages 11-
Adult.
