Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar
OK, but not as
good as what I was hoping for granted it was him. Written by the
renowned NY based Egyptologist (and star of some wicked History Channel
and TLC documentaries before both went to the dark
side) it explores modern history's fascination with Egyptian obelisks.
How the things were made of course - which is where he nerds out over
the unfinished obelisk as he usually does - but also some key famous
ones. Some in Europe, the titular one in Central
Park certainly, and some others still in their home land. If the obelisk
was moved, he covers the relocation process. Book was nice, but it
didn't seem to have much of his usual personality.
