Did you know that the first mummies known to us did not appear in ancient Egypt, but in South America? And in ancient Egypt, they embalmed cats, ibis, crocodiles and even sacred bulls? And in the Empire of the Incas of the mummy of rulers, did they continue to sit on the thrones and give wise advice to their successors?
Mummies are the most important witnesses of the history of mankind who can tell us - how the people of the past lived and what they had eaten, how they dressed and what they loved to play. This book tells about many famous mummies: Pharaoh Tutankhamone, the primitive hunter of Esti, a man from Tollund and Chinese aristocrat, Xin Zhui, children who were sacrificed to the Lullyalyako volcano, and the unsuccessful robber of Elmere Mackerdi train, the adventures of which were completely incredible after his death.
And you will also learn about modern methods of studying mummies and about the ways of using mummies in the household! Municipies from mummies, paint and paper from mummies, fertilizer and fuel for locomotives. Is it all true?
The text of Fleur Doge is complemented by the illustrations of Sebastien Murren, who depicts all characters with humor, love and attention to details - from a cat to an archaeologist. His funny and slightly ridiculous characters are unlikely to scare anyone.
Author: Journalist Fleur Douge studied psychology and zoology and wrote a number of books about animals and plants for children. Laureate of the French American Vespucci Prize of 2015 in the nomination of a book for children.
For primary and secondary school age
