Crypts, Tombs, and Secret Rooms
It's hard not to think of tombs as creepy places – some are positively
spine-tingling. However, we can also imagine that tombs, crypts, and graves are
time machines! While they can't really transport us physically back to times
gone by, they certainly reveal much about how cultures viewed life, death, and
the afterlife. This riveting series offers both ghostly chills and historical
thrills as readers tour some intriguing final resting places around the globe,
including Russia's City of the Dead, the tomb of China's first emperor, Egypt's
Pyramids of Giza, and England's Westminster Abbey.
