We are all fascinated by the mysteries and puzzles of the ancient world, none more so than those from ancient Egypt. From the riddle of the Sphinx to the source of the Nile, the mysteries of this antique land have fascinated people for centuries. The Riddles of the Sphinx goes beyond mere questions of antiquity to explore centuries of Egyptomania, bringing in Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot, the Curse of the Mummy, and the strange and mysterious deaths of those who discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
Combining expertise in quizzes and Egyptology, this book will delight readers, budding Egyptologists, and quiz enthusiasts of all ages. Illustrated with photographs, archive illustrations, and hieroglyphs, it is a fun and accessible way to learn about the world of ancient Egypt.
The Riddles of the Sphinx features puzzles, games, and activities, including verbal reasoning; math puzzles (Egyptian numbering system); anagrams; visual puzzles, such as memory games, word searches, logical reasoning, and riddles; true or false and multiple-choice questions; who am I and more. The result is a book that is as varied and rich as it is entertaining, which will appeal to the entire family.
