Leonard Eric Cottrell (1913 1974) was a British author and journalist. Many of his books were popularisations of the archaeology of ancient Egypt. . In the 1930s, Cottrell toured the English countryside on his motorcycle, visiting prehistoric stone circles, burial mounds of the Bronze Age, medieval and Renaissance monuments.

Their discovery and its incredible impact on the field of Egyptology form just one episode of this fascinating book, which also covers the construction of the pyramids, the City of the Dead, and many other topics. Leonard Cottrell, author of numerous BBC radio documentaries on ancient Egypt, offers the general reader a story that is both entertaining and factual, ably conveying the romance and mystery which draw so many to the study of ancient Egypt". …

Paperback. Condition: Used; Good. Add a pop of purple to your bookshelf with this 1956 edition of The Lost Pharaohs by Leonard Cottrell! Archaeology has revealed no more fascionating or romantic story than that of the Ancient Egyptians. Their colossal monuments, their mummified kings and other royal and novel personages, their pyramids and temples, their paintings and sculpture, their picture writing - all offered stimulating puzzles to the keen inquirer. When Leonard Cottrell, after visiting the chief sites, went wrong and produced for the B.B.C. a number of feature programmes on Ancient Egypt the letters that poured in from listeners testified to the general public's immense interest. In this book he tells, simply but accurately, the romantic story of the origin of the pyramids - how and why they were built; of the titanic temples of Karnak, the city of the dead and the royal valley.
