The Archaeology Hotspots series offers reader-friendly and engaging
narratives of the archaeology in particular countries. Written by
archaeological experts with a general reader in mind, each book in
the series focuses on what has been found and by whom, what the
controversies and scandals have been, ongoing projects, and how it
all fits into a broader view of the history of the country. In
Archaeology Hotspot Egypt, scholar Julian Heath provides a
chronological overview beginning with handaxes left by Homo erectus
during the Lower Paleolithic and moving onwards through pharaonic
Egypt to finish in the Greco-Roman period. He covers the most
interesting finds-including Tutankhamen's tomb and the Rosetta
Stone-and profiles major personalities, past and present. Current
digs and recent insights on the past are also covered, such as the
massive tomb of KV5 and how contemporary scientific techniques are
unearthing new information about ancient Egyptian people and
animals. The result is an illuminating look at the history,
culture, national heritage, and current archaeological news of
Egypt-a hotspot of archaeology.
