London-based fine artist and writer Millmore explores ancient Egypt and its mythical roots for a general readership (with writing appropriate for middle school students and above) using computer generated imaginings and photographs of the sites today. Chapters are attractively and accessibly designed, incorporating common history with narratives of legend and myth in brief sections and abundant illustrations. Millmore's pictures and text detail the systems of hieroglyphs and mathematics; highlight unusual facts about every day Egyptian life; imagine royal regalia; and illustrate both humans and gods (and some said to be both) that populated the Pharaohs' kingdoms, among other topics.
