(3) 4-6 Filer's use of the priest Hornedjitef as a focus for exploring Egyptian customs, particularly its burial culture, works well. Relevant subtopics, which fall naturally into the narrative of the mummy's discovery and subsequent attempts to unlock its secrets, include priestly culture, x-ray technology, details of mummification, and beliefs concerning the afterlife. Captioned photos, diagrams, and a timeline aid the process. Glos., ind.
