E is for Egypt

Charles C. Somerville

Why are we so intrigued by ancient Egypt? Is it because Egyptian treasures are rich and colorful? Is it because we can’t figure out how pyramids were built?

Is it because of the mystical curses, which seem to inflict anyone who opens up the tomb of a pharaoh?

Richly illustrated in colors that make Egyptian art so appealing, E Is for Egypt feeds our fascination with this ancient civilization.
