Did you know that it was only as recent as 2005 that a CT scan of Tutankhamun's mummy revealed that he could not have been murdered or died an accidential death, as has always been thought? Find out how he really died in Egypt, which is not only the most comprehensive but also the most up-to-date volume available in the world today.
There have been many books devoted to specific elements of the ancient Egyptian culture - art, architecture, history, and mythology - but most only present a small fraction of the ancient Egyptian realm. This volume seeks to take that one step further, exploring every facet of this ancient land.
Written by an international team of experts in the fields of anthropology, Egyptology, archeology, history, and the visual arts, Egypt is a unique blend of engaging text and evocative color photographs, paintings, lithographs, sculptures, artifacts, maps, and illustrations. This stunning volume will take you on a journey into the past, bringing to life the peasants, priests, and pharaohs that peopled Ancient Egypt.
504 pages including a chronology, index, and credits. Illustrated with more than 750 full-color photographs sourced from leading museums, art galleries, and private collections from across the globe.
