Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
"For all those interested in the burial practices in New Kingdom Egypt, this should be the first book to consult. " —Journal of the American Oriental Society

This account of the Valley of the Kings brings together the art, archaeology, and history of this incredible site in one exciting volume.

The authors, both acknowledged authorities, examine the topography of the Valley, the choice of specific tomb sites, the makeup of the workforce, and how the royal monuments were prepared for the king's afterlife. They tell the story of the chroniclers and archaeologists throughout history, and catalogue all the Valley's burials, describing for each its discovery, architecture, decoration, and contents. And, in three final sections, they discuss the robbing of the Valley in antiquity, the hiding of the royal mummies, and the urgent steps now needed to safeguard the royal necropolis for future generations. 532 illustrations, 76 in color.

Wonderful, informative book September 26, 2008
This is the most complete book on The Valley of the Kings. It is so interesisng, and informative and has great pictures. It is well worth the money. Used but in very good shape just as advertised by the book seller. Before you go to Egypt , buy this book. I wish I had it in May 2008 when I went to Egypt.

Excellent resource for aspiring Egyptologists May 9, 2008
I bought this for my daughter and she loved it. The pictures along with the writing made it very easy for her to understand, but not "babyish". I would heartily recommend this book for people that have a genuine interest in ancient Egypt.

Hidden facts November 20, 2005
Did you know that there are chambers in the bottom of many temples that are still 'uncharted"? Neither did I. This is a great book.
