Both rulers were buried in Egypt, but their tombs have never been found despite years of intensive research and excavation. Yet we have tantalising clues. Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt describes the quest for these and other great missing tombs those we know existed, but which have not yet been identified. It also discusses key moments of discovery that have yielded astonishing finds and created the archetypal image of the archaeologist poised at the threshold of a tomb left untouched for millennia. In this gripping account, Chris Naunton explains the mysteries of the missing tombs and presents all the evidence, skilfully unravelling the tangled threads surrounding the burials of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten and his son Tutankhamun, and the burial place of Imhotep, architect of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, among others. Could other such tombs lie undiscovered in the Valley of the Kings? In fact, the Valley almost certainly does guard hidden treasures. Amazing finds of unsuspected tombs continue to occur there and elsewhere in Egypt, making headlines worldwide -- all are covered in this book. 650 0 $a Tombs $z Egypt. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85135940 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Egypt. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85046129 651 0 $a Egypt $x Antiquities. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85041263 651 0 $a Egypt $x Civilization. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85041265 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 650 7 $a Tombs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152439 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 941 $a 1 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025011900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=042A392072FC11EE80D9CCAA24ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LVYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
