Summary: This massive book guides you through the discovery of the extraordinary historical treasures which have been found in Egypt's most famous heritage site. These are treasures and antiquities which span over 3000 years from the First Dynasty of 3100 BC to the Roman period, AD 300. With the aid of superb photographs and reconstruction drawings, it has been possible to reconstruct the events, the Royal temples and the enormous temples from the five centuries of the most important New Kingdom (from 1570-1070 BC) based on the archaeological evidence. The text has been compiled by fourteen leading Egyptologists under the editorship of the Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo.
