This illustrated book is the culmination of a project to document
and conserve the tomb of Menna, one of the most beautiful and
complex painted tombs of the ancient Egyptian necropolis at Luxor.
Through conservation, the tomb, which previously lay open to
environmental influence, was brought back to its former glory.
Aided by non-invasive methods of scientific analysis, the
historical and cultural importance of Menna's paintings can now be
viewed and studied and enjoyed by a worldwide audience.
High-definition photography and drawings complement specialist
essays by scholars, scientists, and technicians, who discuss the
artistic and cultural significance of the paintings, their
architectural context, and scientific importance. Directed by Dr.
Hartwig and administered by the American Research Center in Egypt
(ARCE) as part of its Egyptian Antiquities Conservation Project,
the project was funded by a grant from the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), sponsored by Georgia State
University, and carried out in collaboration with Egypt's Supreme
Council of Antiquities.
