This book provides a truly in-depth look at the role of tombs in Ancient Egypt, and the process of mummification. In a unit this book would be extremely useful, and I feel that students who were interested would be highly engaged due to the balance of pictures and text. The drawings in the text provide in-depth diagrams that allow the student to really build a deeper understanding of the topic, however the drawings do feel a tad dated and I would have liked to have seen real-life photos included as well.
