Curse of the Pharaohs: My Adventures with Mummies by Zahi Hawass (National Geographic)
Rating: 7.5/10
Despite its name, this book is more interesting in disproving the curse of the mummies and discovering fascinating finds by the archaeologist author (who is in charge of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt).
The photography is beautiful, but there is a large amount of text, and the author is prone to repeating himself. This would make a better reader to go along with Core 6, than a read-aloud for Core 1, so I plan to have my children redo it then.
