About the Author:
Mark Bergin studied at Eastbourne College of Art and has specialized in historical reconstructions, aviation and maritime subjects since 1983. He lives in Bexhill-on-Sea, England, with his wife and three children.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6-- Although current technology has provided humankind with its share of wonders, the construction of the Egyptian pyramids--without modern building tools--makes these monuments as awe-inspiring now as they were in their own day. This book gives a detailed account of how these engineering and architectural feats were accomplished, as well as how the ancient Egyptians lived. Small, well-executed watercolor illustrations, with the help of captions, expand the text, showing readers how priests determined true north at the site of the building or sketching out the interior structure. Students also learn what people ate, wore, and the text even speculates about what their gossip might have been. Specific sites, such as Tutankhamun's tomb, are mentioned, as are the methods of archeology used to uncover and protect the sites. This book joins many other good texts on this subject, such as David Macaulay's Pyramid (Houghton, 1975) or George Hart's Ancient Egypt (HBJ, 1989). --Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library
