Product Information

This volume is one in a series that explores the worlds of the past, using the finds of archaeologists and other scientists to bring ancient peoples and their cultures vividly to life.From the watery marshes of its northern delta to its arid southern reaches, Egypt is a place where, as one contemporary archaeologist has noted, you can't put your spade in the ground and not find something. This great treasure house of a country has been luring the curious for centuries. Among them have been many who sought to become rich by plundering the past. Others called themselves archaeologists, but by today's stricter standards count as no more than amateurs. The worst of them did more harm than good in their greedy haste to clear a tomb or temple, destroying valuable evidence that might have helped solve many of the riddles still attached to the objects they crated and sent home. But at their best the searchers were magnificent professionals, lovers of history, and great respecters of the humanity behind their finds. They pulled open the doors that stood between present and ancient Egypt, empowering all those who share a fascination with antiquity to step through a kind of magical looking glass into the intriguing land of the pharaohs.Much of what the world first learned about the Egyptians came from an early obsession with their tombs. Thanks to the dryness that prevails throughout most of the land, not only did these burial sites often contain bodies that had survived the ages largely intact, but with them were found an array of items that revealed much about civilisation thousands of years ago.
