First off, I give it an A++. I read the book in less than a week, with a totalling of 528 pages. The book transitions from 2 point of views, which makes the book utterly facsinating and truly amazing. It goes into deep secription, with a bit of humor. This novel is action-packed, and once u put your hands on it, you'll never want to let go. If your house was burning, what would u bring? Well, of course I would bring all my valuables, and that includes this book. This book is amazing and I can't put it into words of how much I love it. That's why, this would be the book I would save if my house was on flames. seconde place, of course, The Percy Jackson seires. (The Last Olypian is tied!) Now read the Red Pyramid and than answer this question, Which book would u save from your house if it was up in flames???

Anubis invented embalming to embalm Osiris, the first mummy. He was the guide of the dead. The Egyptians embalmed their dead, especially their pharaohs, to preserve them, since they thought that this helped them live for ever.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that when u died, u travelled to the Hall of the Dead. There Anubis weighed your hart-, hart against the feather of Ma'at.

Nut - the Sky Goddess blue with golden stars

Geb - the Earth God color of plants and fertile Nile mud

The sky is Nut's body, arching from horizon to horizon. Geb is the Earth, lying beneath her. During the day, Nut and Geb are separated, but each evening Nut comes down to meet Geb and this causes darkness. If storms came during the day, it was believed that Nut had come closer to the earth.

Nut was married to the King of the Gods, Ra, but she was in love with Geb. When Ra found out, he was angry and zei that Nut could not give birth to any children during the 360 days of the year. Nut was unhappy...

Amun - God of Creation, crowned with ostrich feathers

Amun was an important god, but there are no stories about him. He created all things. At the same time, he remained apart from creation, totally different from it, and fully independent from it. In fact, he was invisible, so u couldn't have a picture of him! However, if u called him Amun-Re, this allowed people to see him. Then he had a hat with ostrich feathers on, and like all gods with human heads, a beard. Re is another way of spelling Ra, the sun god.

Tutankhamun's name contains the name of Amun. It also contains the Ankh, which means Life. His name means "Long life to Amun."
    
Amun is sometimes spelled Ammon. The fossil ammonites are called after him, because his sacred animal is a ram, and ammonites are shaped like ram's horns.

Thoth - God of Wisdom, Time, Writing and the Moon, head of an ibis

Thoth invented hieroglyphs, the picture writing of Ancient Egypt. He was the measurer of the earth and the counter of the stars, the keeper and recorder of all knowledge. The ibis is a bird rather like a stork, with long legs and a long beak which it uses for prodding in the mud to find small fish. It was a symbol of wisdom and learning because it has a beak shaped like a pen which it dips in the mud, as if it was ink.

The Book of Thoth had two spells in it. If u read the first spell aloud, u would be able to understand every...
