From the decipherment of hieroglyphics in 1822 to the discovery of
Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon a hundred
years later, the uncovering of Egypt's ancient past took place in
an atmosphere of grand adventure and international rivalry. In A
World Beneath the Sands, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson
chronicles the ruthless race between the British, French, Germans,
and Americans to lay claim to its mysteries and treasures. He tells
riveting stories of the men and women whose obsession with Egypt's
ancient civilization helped to enrich and transform our
understanding of the Nile Valley and its people, and left a lasting
impression on Egypt, too. Travelers and treasure-hunters,
ethnographers and archaeologists: whatever their motives, whatever
their methods, a century of adventure and scholarship revealed a
lost world, buried for centuries beneath the sands.
