The Italian adventurer Giovanni Belzoni (1778 1823) is one of the
most colourful and notorious figures in Egyptology. After the
Napoleonic invasion of Egypt, European interest in the country, and
especially in its antiquities, led to a demand for artifacts, the
larger the better. Belzoni happened to be pursuing his two careers,
as circus strong-man and hydraulic engineer, in Egypt in 1815, when
he was asked to organise the transport of a 7-ton statue of
Ramesses II from Thebes to the British Museum. After the success of
this enterprise, he turned his attention to the discovery of other
antiquities, though using destructive techniques which were
deplored by serious contemporary scholars. His narrative of his
adventures was enormously popular at the time, and remains readable
and entertaining today. This reissue omits the plates from the
original edition, which are too large to be reproduced
satisfactorily in this format.
