خیلی وقت بود که همه� آثار ترجمه شده� تری دیری رو خونده بودم غیر از مجموعه� چهار جلدی «ماجراهای مصر باستان».
هرچی می‌گشت� هیچ‌ج� نبودش تا این‌ک� بالاخره تو فیدیبو پیداش کردم، و اولین کتابی بود که با فیدیبوک� خوندم�!
متاسفانه یه‌خورده‌ا� زدش تو ذوق�. مثل همیشه یه داستان جاالب و بانمک بود اما واقعن داستان پردازی خاصی نداشت؛ کاملن داستان معمولی بود و هیچ اتفاق خاصی توش نبود. یه خورده هم هیجان‌انگی� بود که البته به عنوان داستان نوجوان کافی نبود.
البته ارتباطات خوب توصیف شده بود، تصویر پردازی‌ه� ملموس بود، درون‌مای� داستان هم جالب بودش!
چیزی که باعث شد این سه ستاره رو به� بدم روح اثر بود که می‌دونست� کار تری دیری بوده.

I listened to this on audiobook.
This short tale is about grave robbers (or more accurately tomb raiders) of ancient Egypt. Specifically, it is a fictional stab at what may have happened at Tutankhamen's tomb before the Europeans got to it in the 1920's. The tomb showed evidence that it may have been targeted for an attempted robbery a very long time ago. I wasn't aware of this, so this was a nice little nugget of knowledge to glean from this book.

King Tutanhkhamen has been buried in his rocky tomb. Grave robbers devise an elaborate plan to steal King Tutanhkhamen's riches after his funeral. A motley gang of villains have all the skills they need to undertake the crime - the key member of the team is young Paneb, who is small enough to slip through the tunnel and into the funeral chamber.

Cleverly spun tale with suspense and surprise about some greedy grave robbers who learn their lesson the hard way, or at least some of them do!
Good way for kids to learn about Ancient Egyptian burial rituals. Surprised by reference to young boy drinking beer and graphic description of being nailed to the wall of Thebes, considering it's a Chapters Book for 6-8 year olds.

This is a quick read of historical fiction, based on possible real events during Ancient Egypt, with would be tomb raiders was not as well done as the other books in this series. The afterward portion was by far the best part quickly discussing some of the discoveries of tombs, particularly Tutankhamen’s.

This short children's book has a clever story about a group of tomb raiders, and some information on Egyptian tombs as well. I know some children who will love it. I myself are more a fan of the Horrible Histories series.
