3✨ A great early reader chapter book that teaches a bit about ancient Egyptian customs. They even solve a puzzle to help the queen whose eye sight is hindering her from going to the afterlife. Read to my son for bedtimes. #SeriesLove

This I definitely a nice introduction to Ancient Egypt, written from an interesting point of view - the one of the population. With general information in boxes and additional pictures it gives the reader a first insight into the culture. This is not a book for a pro though.

Soscha I wish I could have been one though, an Egyptologist pro. Though I‘d probably be more about Sumerians now. Or just the human Homo evolution. Hominins & such. It still fascinates. If I ever win lotto which I won‘t that‘s what I go back to complete a BA & MA, and maybe a plus. 3w

I like the layout very much, it is interesting and pleasing to the eye. Pictures and background information boxes are added as well.

I bought this series some time ago because someone posted it here on Litsy and I found it intriguing. After being in my Kindle library for over one year now, I finally started it. 🥳🥳🥳

I found this book about the six women rulers of Egypt very interesting, although at some times it felt a little tilted rather than neutral fact.
It, of course, covered the more well-known women like Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and Cleopatra, but I really enjoyed learning about the lesser known women rulers: Merneith, Neferusobek, and Tawisret.

TheBookHippie I liked this one. 1mo

I very much enjoyed this book. I loved immersing myself in the Ancient Egyptian world. Nefertiti was a fascinating queen to read about. It seems well researched and it‘s imaginatively told to fill in any holes. Highly recommended for historical fiction fans.

I‘m reading this with my local book group. The theme is a story set in North Africa. It‘s about time I read it as it‘s been on my TBR pile for about 15 years apparently!! 🫣🤪☺️. I‘ve read The Heretic Queen and Cleopatra‘s Daughter by the same author and enjoyed them so here‘s hoping! 🤞

This is somehow the early 2000s version of „Fie Königin“ by Sebastian Conrad, which came out last year. Tyldesley examines the story of Nofretete (Nefertiti) be becoming icon throughout the 19th century, whilst Conrad throws light on her influence in the modern day mass media as well.
