* In the vein of the Prothero titles, which have sold well. * Well-researched book which traces the origins of popular myths surrounding the pyramids. * It examines Egypt from the point of view of pop culture and myth rather than academic history. * It is one of the first books to fully explore the influence of medieval Islam on modern myths of Egypt. * It connects stories from Classical Antiquity down to modern movies to show they are part of a continuous whole. * It includes discussion and translation of rare ancient and medieval texts almost never discussed in the West.
