And after that it was repeated every five years. So, the older you get, the fitter you needed to be as a pharao. 𓁈𓁈𓁈
so-soThe Fall of Egypt and the Rise of Rome, by Guy de la Bedoyere (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A history of the Ptolomaic Empire, from its beginnings in the aftermath of Alexander the Great‘s death to its end under the famed queen Cleopatra
Review: There‘s a lot of excellent content here and I was excited for a volume focusing on one of the great Hellenistic kingdoms. ⬇️
Just cuz I wanted to post something cool on Friday! 1951 edition , everyone loves a map or a foldout!
Found this at a local used book store yesterday. You know I love me some a vintage Christie paperback. 😍
pickread Death Comes as the End in one setting. It's a historical mystery by Christie being set in ancient Egypt. Christie usually writes cozy mysteries, but this one, to me, was not cozy. In fact, if it was a stormy night instead of a nice summer night, it probably would have scared me a little. I always love a mystery, where I don't figure out the culprit! Agatha Christie is the Queen of Mysteries!

pickGreat historical read about food found in ancient Egypt! The last chapter is on bread fyi.
Part 1 of kiddo‘s haul: the tagged has been borrowed from the library at least a dozen times, the bottom two finish the series, the Daughter books is her cousin‘s absolute favorite series (she carries them around and calls them her children) and a birthday present for my kiddo, and the Calin just because (and author‘s first name is kiddo‘s first name so if that‘s ever a bingo square again she‘s set).

1. I would choose to learn Hieroglyphic.
2. And if I was going to read a book in that language, it would have to be the tagged one. Beyond that, I‘ve read a number of books in translation recently and two great ones are Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 (originally published in Korean) and The Devotion of Suspect X (originally published in Japanese).
