Where are the tombs of Alexander the Great or Cleopatra? Both
rulers were buried in Egypt, but their tombs have never been found
despite years of intensive research and excavation. Yet we have
tantalizing 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.
As well as immersing the reader, step by step, in the action of the
search and the thrill of discovery, the book also explores the
reasons why tombs remain such a central part of both the popular
perception of Egyptology and the continuing allure of ancient
Egypt.
