Recenzje

There are many books about mummies, but Frank L. Holt's is a unique, informative, and fascinating contribution to the subject. Based on several decades of detective research, it tells the story of the Ankh-Hap mummy: from its origin to its departure from the mummy pits of late nineteenth-century Egypt to its permanent home in the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Along the way, readers are treated to the bonus of a concise history of mummy-mania.
