Děsivé dějiny - Příšerní Egypťané – Deary Terry (2025)

Ancient Egypt will probably never cease to fascinate us: mysterious gods, the life-giving Nile, enormous constructions, enigmatic faces of pharaoh statues... And of course, more than enough terrifying stories and various horrors that are perfect for Horrible Histories! You will meet a pharaoh who invented a truly peculiar insect repellent, a queen who had to get herself a beard, or a ruler of Egypt who lost a war but claimed at home that he was the victor. You will discover what is not true about the pyramids, wander through the pharaoh's labyrinth, and if anything aches from that, you will read about what ancient Egyptian doctors used half a dead mouse for. We must not forget about mummies: without a perfectly preserved body, Egyptians could not reach the afterlife, so they needed really good embalmers. You will undergo training in mummification, and as a bonus, hear a few stories about how a mummy can cause you trouble if you disturb its peace. And the biggest stars of ancient Egypt, Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, will not be missing, along with plenty of fun quizzes and a wealth of other interesting information. History doesn't have to be boring, you'll see!
