About the book
Using the classic style of Egyptian art, the book is painstakingly accurate in facts and illustrative style. Artefacts, funerary customs, wonderfully gory details of the mummification process, hieroglyphics and details of life in ancient Egypt are told through the eyes of Ipy, whose father is embalmer to the King. Yuya, father of the Queen, has died and Ipy must help his father in the mummification process. Yuya is an actual mummy and the discovery of his tomb is an entertaining story in itself.
