From the pyramids at Giza to the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, mummies - those ancient and awesome figures of the dead - are among the most fascinating and surprising mysteries of the ancient world. Now you can travel back in time and look beneath the mummy's bandages as it goes from dead to perfectly preserved, all in just a few months. Readers will not only learn how and why mummies were made, they will also unravel the secrets of the Book of the Dead, the legends behind Egyptian gods and goddesses, the inside story of Osiris, the very first mummy, and will glimpse the riches of tomb treasures as only a see-through page can show them. So open your eyes and prepare to be amazed, because with this book you won't just SEE mummies, you'll SEE THROUGH them.
