The Riddle of the Sphinx is one of the most famous riddles ever told and it took a Greek hero, Oedipus, to solve it. In the last 2,000 years the puzzle has been repeated countless times, but Ancient Egyptian culture positively brimmed with mysteries and enigma. This book is filled with Egyptian-inspired puzzles both old and new, and is accessible not just to Egyptophiles but instead the entire family.
