"Ancient Egypt was full of amazing art, fierce pharaohs, and awe-inspiring pyramids. But at times it was also seriously strange. The Egyptians of the past styled wigs made of vegetables and went to war over a snoring hippo. They tried very hard to keep their noses out of trouble, because if they didn't they might risk having them chopped off. Uncover the terrible tales, surprising stories, and hard-to-believe history in ancient Egypt"--Provided by publisher.
