520 1 |a "Egypt introduces the collectors, explorers, and archaeologists who have come to dominate the story of the rediscovery of ancient Egypt. Among these are Giovanni Belzoni, a circus strongman and diehard adventurer who uncovered many of the works of the greatest pharaoh of them all, Ramesses II, and larger-than-life personalities such as Jean-Francois Champollion, Amelia Edwards, and Flinders Petrie. Tyldesley describes the spectacular finds of these many characters and delves into Howard Carter's dramatic discovery of the golden treasures of the boy king Tutankhamen. Illustrated with full-color photographs, Egypt captures the excitement of these gripping adventures while highlighting the magnificence of the artifacts that were their object."--BOOK JACKET.
