The royal tombs of ancient Egypt include some of the most
stupendous monuments of all time, containing some of the greatest
treasures to survive from the ancient world. This book is a history
of the burial places of the rulers of Egypt from the very dawn of
history down to the countrys absorption into the Roman Empire,
three millennia later. During this time, the tombs ranged from
mudbrick-lined pits in the desert, through pyramid-topped
labyrinths to superbly-decorated galleries penetrating deep into
the rock of the Valley of the Kings. The first book to embrace in
detail the entire range of royal tombs, the present volume covers
the full extent of royal funerary monuments, which comprised not
only the actual burial place, but also the place where the worlds
of the living and the dead came together in the temples built to
provide for the dead pharaohs soul.
