Reprint. Near fine paperback copy; edges very slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, and clean. Physical description: xlv, 231 p., [54] leaves of plates: ill. ; 22 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary: November 4, 1922. For six seasons, the legendary Valley of the Kings has yielded no secrets to Howard Carter and his archeological team: "We had almost made up our minds that we were beaten," he writes, "and were preparing to leave The Valley and try our luck elsewhere; and then -- hardly had we set hoe to ground in our last despairing effort than we made a discovery that far exceeded our wildest dreams." Join Howard Carter in his odyssey toward the most dramatic archeological find of the century -- the tomb of Tutankhamen. Written by Carter in 1923, only a year after the discovery, this book captures the overwhelming exhilaration of the find, the painstaking, step-by-step process of excavation, and the wonder of opening a treasure-filled inner chamber whose regal inhabitant had been dead for 3,000 years. 104 on-the-spot photographs chronicle the phases of the discovery and the scrupulous cataloging of the treasures. The opening chapters discuss the life of Tutankhamen and earlier archeological work in the Valley of the Kings. An appendix contains fully captioned photographs of the objects obtained from the tomb. A new preface by Jon Manchip White adds information on Carter's career, recent opinions on Tutankhamen's reign, and the importance of Carter's discovery to Egyptologists.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of the excavation of a remarkable tomb in the Lisht cemetery, located near the pyramids of Amenemhat I and Senusert I. The tomb, belonging to a woman named Senebtisi, dates back to the Twelfth Dynasty, a period of great prosperity and cultural achievement in ancient Egypt. The author meticulously documents the process of clearing the tomb, revealing a wealth of artifacts, including intricately crafted coffins, exquisite jewelry, and ceremonial staves.
