Format:Hardcover
This book is complete and very interesting. Dr. Salima Ikram, with whom I had the pleasure to take a course on funerary beliefs in Ancient Egypt, is a top expert in the field. Immerse yourself in the symbolism of the house to the afterlife!

The Definative Text on the Egyptian Tomb
27 April 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This authoritative text is written by two well known scholars who have the ability to describe the development of Ancient Egyptian tombs through history in full detail without being dull. The text contains a wealth of facts about all aspects of Egyptian tomb building, from construction methods and architectural styles to the decoration of the tomb's walls. The text also contains overviews of the various funerary texts found in the tombs ("The Book of Gates", etc.).
The illustrations are well chosen and beautifully reproduced. There are hundreds of photographs, with many in color, as well as floor plans and maps. Many of the photos have been rarely, if ever, published in previous books.
I would recommend this book without reservation.

The Tomb in Ancient Egypt

The Tomb in Ancient Egypt is a long awaited companion volume to the authors earlier book Thw Mummy in Ancient Egypt. The authors Salima Ikram and Aidan Dodson both well known and respected scholars have put into one book all the information, background and history of the tombs of Ancient Egypt that one could wish to know. The book will serve the professional and interested lay persond equally well.The book is the product of through research yet is writen in a style that is both informative and well organized , so that even a beginner will walk away with a full understanding of the topic.
Eqyptian Text
3 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was used as a textbook for a class I was taking but I have gotten a lot of use out of it. It is a bit technical, so not an easy read, but a great reference for Egyptian history and tombs.
