Take a tour through the vast past of Ancient Egypt as you follow the adventures of one family through time.

Travel with the Tut family through 3,000 years of jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring history, discovering how ancient people worked, played, fought, and feasted, and featuring some of the huge historical figures that marked their lives.

Experience the sights, smells, and sounds of the Nile River as you hunt for food with fisherman’s daughter Mery. Flip the page and suddenly feel the heat of the blistering desert as her descendant – soldier Hori – prepares for battle. Then jump through time to join Hemira and her father in heaving stones to build the epic Great Pyramid. Each new character has their own unique story, as they encounter mummies, pharaohs, gods, and much more!

From the earliest people farming the land, right up to the modern Egyptian researchers cataloging the past, uncover the first-hand story of the civilization that shaped the world (and left us lots of buried treasure). With plenty of tiny details to spot and characters that let you see the world through their eyes, <Let&#8217;s Meet the Ancient Egyptians< immerses you in history on every page.
