This book celebrates, in superb photographs, ancient Egypt's greatest artistic achievements - from the spectacular sacred city of Thebes to the Valleys of the Kings and Queens. Dynasty by dynasty, Treasures of the Pharaohs focuses on magnificent tombs, temples, wall paintings and jewelery - including the sumptuously decorated legacy of Tutankhamen. An accompanying commentary, both authoritative and highly readable, sets the achievements of the Pharaohs in their historical and artistic context.
