tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302123842011-07-28T17:21:50.472-07:00When studying ancient Egypt there are many great books by respected authors, but there are also a fair few "pyramidiot" books (those that do not concern too much about ancient history, but instead concentrate on promoting a new theory). So, it can sometimes be difficult to know a good book from a bad one. I have set this page up to list books that I have read and found enjoyable and helpful to my studies. These are also the books that I have often used to help construct this website!Jesica J.
