Recs if you like 24 Hours in Ancient Egypt: A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There (24 Hours in Ancient History)...

Egyptomania

Alexa, play Cleopatra by Weezer.

A collection of texts inspired by my childhood (and adult -- let's be honest) hyperfixation. Subjects cover the history of and our obsession with ancient Egypt.

Recommendations welcome. Except for anything by Zahi Hawass; he can suck eggs.
