Meet the dudes who made history happen. With its quirky, fun artwork, History Dudes presents the past in a way that is both irreverent and informative. In each book, the reader is guided on a journey through a key event, theme, or period in world history, with explanatory reference spreads, comic strips, and interviews with historical dudes along the way.
In 'Ancient Egyptian Dudes' follow the adventures of female pharaoh Hatshepsut, attend an Egyptian feast, and meet the architect responsible for the Great Pyramid. Thousands of years ago, a mighty civilisation flourished on the banks of the River Nile. Its people built incredible pyramids and temples, worshipped their kings and queens as gods, and used tortoise brains as a cure for eyesight problems.
Come face-to-face with a wig maker who reveals the bald truth about hairstyles, visit a gang of tomb raiders who'll show how they stole incredible treasures and join troublemaking Pharaoh Akhenaten who explains why he tried to change everyone's religion.
Throughout the series, the imaginative artworks are full of humorous details that will engage and amuse time and time again. History Dudes is about making history fun. Illustrated by Rich Cando, creator of the world famous 'Star Dudes'.
