The last few years I have been trying to slowly buy or get books for review that I know we will need in our schooling. This year I was so excited to acquire Unwrapping the Pharaohs: How Egyptian Archaeology Confirms the Biblical Timeline and I was mistaken at first to not realize there is a second book to add to our wishlist entitled Unveiling the Kings of Israel: Revealing the Bible's Archaeological History. Can you guess what I hope to buy next?! It has already come up on our history cards as a reference!!

My book-in-hand is a heafty, durable hardcover. It is about the same size as The Stargazer's Guide to the Night Sky or the Berean Builders science textbooks from Dr. Jay Wile in his Science in the Beginning series. On the same shelf, I also have my copies of The World of Animals, The World of Science, and MWF version of History of the World. The pages are glossy and full-color and I believe this reference book is built to last. I am quite certain we will be using it again and again through our history cycle with multiple students in our homeschool studies.

In addition to Unwrapping the Pharaohs and Unveiling the Kings of Israel, Master Books also publishes The Archaeology Book as part of the Wonders of Creation series. For those so inclined, they also provide a set of Lesson Plans using these three resources for the subject of Biblical Archaeology.

This year we are enjoying a gracious amount of material learning about the Old Testament and Ancient Egyptian times. Some of it is very mystical and full of guess work. Other pieces are full of historical background, evidence, and support. This book, Unwrapping the Pharaohs is in the later group full of details and brings a glance to Egyptian history to life. The chronology in this book confirms the Old Testament accounts of Moses, the Exodus, and Joseph as well as including fascinating facts about Ancient Egyptian civilization and life. Every page is filled with engaging text and more than 300 beautiful full-color photographs!
