Full of inaccuracies

I'm surprised that this Nat Geo-associated production, written by Dr. Zahi Hawass, would be both so unacademic and full of inaccurate information. It even contradicts some of Dr. Hawass' established/published opinions.

not long enough for the money

I thought it was very interesting but I don't feel like I got my money's worth for the $9 I paid for it.

Should be labeled as for YOUNG READER Audience

Definitely not targeted for readers in middle school or above. Very superficial, but, ok for young readers first intro.

Good, short listen

This was a good, short listen. I always enjoy anything written by Zahi Hawass. I don’t think I learned anything new, though I’d like to know more about the proposed possible genetic disease that Akhenaten may have had.

It was just ok

There are much better books out there on Tutankhamun. There was a lot of "I think" or "I feel" statements in this book. I would not have added it to my library if it were not part of the Plus Catalog.
