Magnificent pyramids, the silent Sphinx, gigantic temples of stone, a land and people shrouded by the mists of time. Here's a subject that promises to captivate coloring book enthusiasts and anyone intrigued by the life and customs of ancient Egypt. Forty-four authentically detailed drawings by artist John Green recall the glory of a magnificent civilization — from the beginning of the dynasties (ca. 300 B.C.), through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms (ca. 2700–2010 B.C.), to the rule of the Ptolemies and the Roman conquest (30 B.C.) Included are expertly drawn and well-researched full-page illustrations of Cleopatra, Ramses II, the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his beautiful wife, Nefertiti, as well as scenes depicting many aspects of Egyptian life — construction of the six-story step pyramid at Sakkara, fishing and farming along the Nile, the Sphinx and pyramids at Giza, goldsmiths and metalworkers creating elegant works of art, and more. Review: Beautifully illustrated images with captions explaining each setting - Beautifully illustrated images with captions explaining each setting. Just be warned, in the center of the page there is a nude scene in Pharaoh's court with topless dancers. Tastefully done but still might not be something you want your little ones to see. These photocopy excellently so that each my kids can color the page. Wonderful coloring book. Review: Great for homeschooling - It's a little outdated, but the pictures are spot on and beautiful. I can always depend on Dover to have beautifully and usually accurate historical coloring books. I use these as fun activities for homeschool history, and my kids love them.

Great Info and Detail
We love this book! All of the Dover books are packed with information and amazing coloring pictures. My 4th grade son loves these books, but my 1st grade daughter thinks they are too detailed for her;) The drawings are not only excellent, but the information and detail within this book was an unexpected treat.

These are pretty detailed pictures
These are pretty detailed pictures. I assumed they'd be for younger kids to supplement Story of the World curriculum. But the reading level on the books is above my 1st grader's level. Although he is having fun coloring the pictures as I read the info to him. It's a nice informative coloring book.

fun
My grandson loves all things representing ancient Egypt and he enjoyed this book. There was one picture with topless girls. (accurate representation from the time period but we were surprised to see it in a children's coloring book. The nudity was easily covered with stickers)

Not a little kid's coloring book
The Dover series of History Coloring books is NOT designed for little kids. These exquisitely intricate pictures are accompanied by detailed historical information about specific areas of interest. They are a wonderful supplement to any history curriculum, especially for children who are visual learners. Look for other volumes in the same series!

Wonderful coloring book
For all who love ancient Egypt it is a nice present. And yes there are bare breasts, but for those who know ancient Egypt they know that bare breasts aren't problematic for ancient Egyptians they were not so inhibit as some customers from U.S.
