Synopsis
First published in 1981, this book tells both the ancient story of the Valley of the Kings, and the modern one of its rediscovery, to which the main part of the book is dedicated. The detailed narrative covers the careers of the travellers, scholars and archaeologists involved, from colourful pioneers like the erstwhile circus strongman 'The Great' Belzoni, to Howard Carter and the most magnificent discovery of them all in Tutankhamun's tomb.

From the Publisher
'Authoritative, informative & entertaining throughout' - TLS
This book tells two fascinating stories: one about the majestic tombs of the Egyptian kings, and another that follows the equally exciting intrigue, chauvinism and dedication of the European archaeologists who discovered them. As the Los Angeles Herald Examiner noted, it is ‘a book that is bound to become a classic of Egyptology. One of the best serious books on archaeology to appear in many years.’
Book Description
