An authoritative and compelling insight into the search for ancient Egypt’s lost tombs, providing a completely up-to-date inside story of all the latest theories and discoveries.
Where are the tombs of Alexander the Great or Cleopatra? Both rulers were buried in Egypt, but their tombs have never been found despite years of intensive research and excavation. Yet we have tantalizing clues. In this gripping account, Chris Naunton skilfully unravels the tangled threads surrounding the mysteries of the missing tombs. As well as immersing the reader in the action of the search and the thrill of discovery, the book also explores the reasons why tombs remain such a central part of both the popular perception of Egyptology and the continuing allure of ancient Egypt.
