The book presents the discoveries made by the Polish archaeological
mission in Saqqara, the central part of the largest ancient
Egyptian royal necropolis. The area adjacent to the Pyramid of King
Djoser on the monument's west side, so far neglected by
archaeologists, turned out to be an important burial place of the
Egyptian nobility from two periods of Pharaonic history: the Old
Kingdom (the late third millennium BC) and the Ptolemaic Period
(the late first millennium BC). The earlier, lower cemetery yielded
rock-hewn tombs with splendid wall decoration in relief and
painting. The book also describes methods of conservation applied
to the discovered artefacts and episodes from the mission's life.
