"From the pyramids along the Nile and the royal burial ground in the Valley of the
Kings to the tombs of queens such as Ramesses II's consort Nefertari and the large
number of private tombs of nobles like Rekhmire and Ramose, The Tomb in Ancient Egypt
is an unparalleled guide for aficionados and Egyptologists alike." "Written by two
experts in the field, this new book traces burial practices in Egypt over three millennia,
from the dawn of Egyptian history to the Roman domination. It also illuminates the
work of key scholars who excavated and catalogued their finds for posterity, and it
includes a comprehensive list of the principal cemeteries, with glossary and maps
for ease of reference. Richly illustrated with photographs of the monuments and their
art, plus numerous diagrams and reconstruction drawings, this is an essential and
authoritative resource for all those passionate about ancient Egypt."--Jacket
