What reading level is Forged Egyptian Antiquities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
21. This is a beautifully-cut double scarab of very unusual form. I bought it from a boy in the streets of Cairo for three piastres. It is extremely well moulded, and the colour is very good. It had been oiled, and had what looked like ancient dirt on 87 FORGED EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES its back. Upon rubbing this dirt I found a speck of gold underneath. For some time opinions differed as to whether this was a genuine scarab which had been stolen and sold by a man who did not know its real value, or... whether it was a very clever imitation. Examination of the base showed that there were two inscriptions, divided in half by an ankh (key of life). But one sign was upside down, and some of the symbols are longer and larger than those on the corresponding side. The front legs are too broad, and quite standing up. It must have been a very difficult matter for the imitator to produce this unusual specimen.
No. 22. This represents a frog, and is very poor work. It is made of composition, is insufficiently glazed, and the shape is bad.
