"Kingfisher Voyages" take the reader (the 'voyager') on a fantastic, interactive journey of discovery. Using acetates and gatefold, in-depth information is presented in a new, exciting and irresistible way. Meet your guide, Kent Weeks, a real-life Egyptologist, who provides his unique eyewitness account of what it is like to explore ancient tombs and examine the bodies of past rulers. Walk through the Valley of the Kings and uncover the secrets of hidden tombs. Retrace the footsteps of Howard Carter as he pin-points the location of King Tutankhamun's mummy and watch as he excavates the tomb. Along the way, lift the acetate to reveal the building process of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and use the divider tabs to move easily from one chapter to the next. The journey ends in the laboratory, where the restoration of the ancient artefacts is examined.
