History

The book I have reviewed is called "HISTORY". It is written by John Farndon and has over 500 pages. It is filled with interesting facts about key events in history of mankind. It is also easy to read as the facts are in bulleted form and there are many colourful illustrations. It is also written tight and concise.

One part I liked was when they talked about the ancient Egyptians and their culture.They first included the development of Egypt by River Nile. Next, they shared about the gods of Egypt they believed in and their beliefs of how the universe was created. Some of the gods are Ra-Atum, the sun god, Osiris, ruler of the underworld Kingdom of the Dead. Finally, there is the mystery of the pyramids. Experts are simply baffled even till this day as to how the pyramids are built. Theories have been tested out but none can explain satisfactorily how such vast quantities of stone could have been moved such huge distances and arranged with such incredible accuracy.

It is good to read this book to get a brief introduction on key events and people. It can also be used as reference or just reading pleasure.
