1.The Murder of King Tut: The Plot to Kill the Child King - A Nonfiction ThrillerThe Murder of King Tut: The Plot to Kill the Child King - A Nonfiction Thriller
from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
For anyone that is not versed in Egyptology, this book makes a decent read. It lets you glean into the life of Akhenaten, Tut and the man, that after many difficulties, finally discovered his tomb. However, for anyone that has studied Egyptology, this book was juvenile in its text and barely offered... more info

2.The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit: A Jewish Family s Exodus from Old Cairo to the New World (P.S.)The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit: A Jewish Family's Exodus from Old Cairo to the New World (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $7.67

Customer Review:
I bought eight copies of this book for all the family members who claim this is the story of our lives. Born in Egypt, we left in 1966 (I was 8). The alienation, the humiliation and the isolation we felt not only in Egypt, but in the lands where we ended up are so clearly expressed in this book that... more info

3.The Book of the DeadThe Book of the Dead
from Gramercy
Price: $6.85

Customer Review:
This book was an interesting read; a stepping stone for newcomers entering the world of Egyptology. The introduction into the Taut was displayed fairly well, and by the middle of the book i got a basic idea about most of the characters.
It was great to learn about the legend of Osiris, and the... more info

from Tantor Media
Price: $54.17

Customer Review:
The book is well written. Even as an Iranian I was not aware of many facts written and mentioned in this book. All in all it a true shame for the uS foreign policy and very short view and the small horizon of the US politions at times. Well we saw the same disaster recenlty that lead us in the... more info

Customer Review:
Nina Burleigh's, Mirage: Napoleon's Scientists and the Unveiling of Egypt (HarperCollins, 2007) is a historical non-fiction book about Napoleon's occupation of Egypt.

6.[no image]The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
This book is about cryptology (a term that includes both code making or cryptography and code breaking or cryptanalysis). However, the primary focus is not the science of cryptology or its history although both are covered in sufficient detail. It is, rather, on people; the people who made the... more info

Price: $15.00

Customer Review:
In the midst of war, Francis goes unarmed to meet the enemy leader. In a time when Muslims were demonized, Francis has an extended dialogue with the Sultan. But the real story got lost in the midst of politics - the Crusades and heresy allegations. The author does a marvelous job of telling the real... more info

from Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd
Price: $0.02

Customer Review:
I purchased this book for an eight-year-old with very advanced reading skills, and a rather "sophisticated" taste for learning history. Ancient Egypt, a DK Eyewitness Book filled the bill nicely. The photographs are gorgeous, and the book enthralled him for quite some time. The quality of DK's... more info
