Las Pirámides de Egipto

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the world's most amazing wonders. The oldest dating back to 2630 BC, the structures tower above Africa's landscape and hold the mummies of ancient pharaohs. Translated into North American Spanish, this elementary-level introduction, filled with vibrant photos and factual text, examines the structures and how they were constructed. The pyramids' significance in history and why they were built are also included. A Wonder Spotlight features the sarcophagus. Captions, on-page definitions, and an index support young readers.
