Take a spectacular armchair voyage to one of earth's most
magnificent and ancient sites: Egypt's Valley of the Kings. This
exquisitely produced guide is lavishly illustrated with more than
800 pictures (including archeological reconstruction drawings); 6
gatefolds; and the finest paper. Conducted by a team of
world-acknowledged experts who provide the most up-to-date
information, this virtual guidebook to Egypt's greatest treasures
is the perfect mix of artistic brilliance and scholarly research.
The Valley of the Kings and the tombs of the nobles are, with the
pyramids of Giza, among the world's best-known sites. Yet a
significant portion of this remarkable place remains unseen by most
who visit--but this illuminating and spectacularly produced volume
fully maps both the artistic and the architectural features of the
tombs. Renowned photographer Araldo De Luca was granted full access
to these ancient wonders, and he provides unrivaled color images of
the funerary temples and private necropolises. An exploration of
their structures and embellishments features plans, photos,
drawings of motifs, and hieroglyphs. To complete the presentation:
walking itineraries in the Theban mountains are shown from many
unusual vantage points, making this book a visual treat, and an
extraordinary adventure, for real and armchair travelers alike.
