He could have lived a happy life, but today he must mummify a young woman and her daughter, drowned in the Nile reeds.
Mother and daughter will meet in the afterlife...

What will they find in the tomb...

This book captured me from the first page. This was a unique look at how the regular guy spent his life in ancient Egypt. 5-star Amazon review
Excellent Read! This really is a amazing book because it is based on research so to be taken back you are actually relieving what happened. I enjoyed this book very much the author did a wonderful job and I highly recommend it.
5-star Amazon review
It's not every day that you get transported back in time. History buffs would really enjoy this book because it takes you through a comparative element of two different time periods. 5-star Amazon review
