Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt
Author: Chris Naunton
Publisher: Thames & Hudson
ISBN: 0500774528
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
An exciting archeological exploration of ancient Egypt that examines the potential for discovering the remaining “lost” tombs of the pharaohs. Tombs, mummies, and funerary items make up a significant portion of the archeological remains that survive ancient Egypt and have come to define the popular perception of Egyptology. Despite the many sensational discoveries in the last century, such as the tomb of Tutankhamun, the tombs of some of the most famous individuals in the ancient world—Imhotep, Nefertiti, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra—have not yet been found. Archeologist Chris Naunton examines the famous pharaohs, their achievements, the bling they might have been buried with, the circumstances in which they were buried, and why those circumstances may have prevented archeologists from finding these tombs. In Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt, Naunton sheds light on the lives of these ancient Egyptians and makes an exciting case for the potential discovery of these lost tombs.

Pages : 328
Book Description
Sergeant Coot Friedman comes back from the Afghanistan War to an upstate New York village nestled at the foot of a legendary mountain. But for a man with a wayward mind, going home is not easy. He tangles with small town mayhem, certifiably crazy characters, ghosts, visions, and dark forces-both those wearing suits and the more mystical variety. And throughout it all, maintains his taste for good beer. "Among the mad hallucinations of a damaged veteran who has a mystical relationship with a mountain, and the sharply-observed eccentricities of a small town, Morganstern discovers the basic goodness of humanity. He reveals sanity at the heart of madness and chaos, and he does so with wry humor and earthy warmth. A wild and roiling ride."-Tom Newton, winner of the Dactyl Foundation Literary Award for Seven Cries of Delight
