Zahi Hawass, the Head of Egyptian Antiquities and Director of the Giza Pyramids Excavation, recounts his own experiences working with the tombs of ancient Egypt. Hawass seeks to debunk the myths surrounding the ancient tombs and to focus upon the artifacts themselves, but this book is not without a spirit of mystery and adventure which will engage and inform young readers.  (EGY114, $19.95)
