Pyramids: Egyptian, Nubian, Mayan, Aztec, Modern

This book tells a lot about about mummifying and how the pyramid complex was arranged. It also shows various forms of writing by the various cultures. It had lots of information and very detailed pictures, so I can get a real picture of it in my mind even though I've never been to Giza or Peru or Mexico. My favorite page was the one about how the Egyptians mummify people, because I just like how they preserved bodies, because it was neat and clever and really worked. About the Aztec pyramids in the Americas, I liked the Tenochtitlan floating city/island, and the Chinampas which were floating gardens. The whole book was great! age 7.5
