The story
Smashum and Breaka are twins who always find the action, and they love to break and smash things just for fun. On a December morning, they swing from a string of holiday lights and drop straight into an open manhole.
They break through a tunnel wall into the torch-lit passages of ancient Egypt, deep inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. A mummy's spirit is chasing them, and their only help is a cobra named Scales.
The real place: Giza
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for the pharaoh Khufu, and for thousands of years it was the tallest building in the world.
- 2The Great Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a person, and it was carved from one giant piece of rock.
- 3The Sphinx's nose has been missing for hundreds of years, which is why Scales says it was already broken.
