Egyptomaniacs: How We Became Obsessed with Ancient Egypt

Love Egyptian history? Think you know it all? THINK AGAIN! This book was a fabulous read on Egypt and a lot of the misconceptions that we have built over time. If I was to break it all down, this review might never end!
I have loved Egyptian history for years. I found a book on Cleopatra when I was in 4th grade, and it has been a rabbit hole for me ever since! From Ramses II, to lost cities, the lost tomb of Alexander the Great, the mystery of the Sphinx, pyramids... well the list goes on!

Dr. Nielsen goes through and systematically explains, corrects, and describes Egypt in a way that will bring it to life, crush a few dreams (not really), and rebuild your love of Egypt with ease! Fabulous and fun - I could not get enough of this book!
