Reviews

"Donker van Heel poses interesting questions (did choachytes keep mummies stashed around? What's with all these menstruating women under the stairs?), and brings to life ancient individuals with their quirky character traits intact. The book is not for the feeble, but highly enjoyable for those with a little Egyptological (or even classical?) knowledge.' Nicky Van de Beek blog;
