This book includes a superb model for children to press out and construct, created by top model-maker Keith Newstead. Turn the handle and watch in terror as the tomb opens and the Ancient Egyptian mummy comes to life!

The book also takes readers on a fascinating journey to Ancient Egypt. As well as describing the mummification process in gruesome detail, it looks at Egyptian gods and goddesses, tombs and pyramids, famous mummies like Tutankhamun and Rameses II, and tells the strange and mysterious story of the curse of the pharoahs.

With atmospheric and amusing illustrations by Chris Mould.
