Egyptian

There are questions to which even the most knowledgeable Egyptian scholars can not answer ... because they never asked them! Thus, they certainly do not know the name of Cleopatra's cat ("Miou", presumably) or the origin of the word "pyramid" (a Greek term for a honey cake). To satisfy those who thought they knew everything about the Nile Valley, and who regretted to have nothing to learn, a researcher at the CNRS compiled dozens of anecdotes and curiosities, amusing or edifying, about ancient Egypt. In illustration, the drawings of the painter Martine Noblet Dauber help to travel through the centuries.
