Egypt still captures our imagination. The pharaohs, the mummies, the pyramids - such are the subjects of much mystery and imagination, and some have direct correlation to biblical events. Abraham, Joseph, Moses and Jesus each spent part of their lives in Egypt. But how do the biblical accounts line up with historical and archaeological evidence for this empire?
By taking great pains in reconstructing the history and chronology of the entire sweep of Egyptian dynastic history John Ashton and David Down restore the timeline to its original place as a support for biblical history. Illustrated throughout with beautiful full-color photographs of artifacts, structures and art (along with a reproduction of the black and white photos from Zakaria Goneim's discoveries of the "Lost Pyramid" in the 1950's), Unwrapping the Pharaohs presents a wealth of information for anyone interested in these issues.

This is a very informative book, that is written so that the common man can understand it. Very interesting infomation, that you don't get from evolutionists and atheists. Great photos, too. My husband and I, are enjoying it. Hardbound with DVD, great price.

I recommend this book with accompany DVD to all who are really interested in understanding the correlation between Biblical events and archeological finds. In the DVD David Down takes you on-site and describes the historical events tying them to specific Biblical passages.
The DVD supplied is the first of a series of eight DVD's. You can go to his website -Digging Up the Past- to find out more about them. I purchased the series and am thoroughly enjoying learning more about the past and Biblical History.

A very readable book that has several subject lines. These subjects include the history of Egyptian Pharaohs, pyramids and how they interact with the timeline of the Bible.
Although occassionally technical terms are used, they are always explained.
My favorite section concerned what happened to Egypt after the plagues of Moses. It's easy to forget, when you read the Biblical account, that the plagues would have a long lasting effect on the country.
The book uses many photographs and charts to illustrate, and explain.
The DVD that is included supports what you read in the book with on the spot commentary by Mr. Downs.
