"History with the nasty bits left in!

The Awesome Egyptians gives you some awful information about phabulous Pharaohs and poverty-stricken peasants - who lived an awesome 5,000 years ago!

Want to know:
~which king had the worst blackheads?
~why some kings had to wear false beards?
~why the peasants were revolting?

Read on to find some foul facts about death and decay, revolting recipes for 3,000-year-old sweets, how to make a mean mummy, and some awful Egyptian arithmetic. History has never been so horrible!"
