Product Description

Product Description
This work is a showcase for the treasures of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Following the chronological layout of the Museum, the book tours the collections held in each hall, with accompanying text by international Egyptologists. Highlights include the 4000-year-old jewels of a princess from Dahshur, shown for the first time to a non-specialist audience, the funerary treasure of Queen Ahhotep, the tombs of the kings and queens at Tanis on the Nile Delta, and statues from the Temple of AmenRe at Karnak.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning photographs., 1 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is an absolutely stunning book. The sheer weight of it when you first pick it up suggests that it will be worth the money. Even before the contents page you are confronted with full-page, full-colour photographs of amazing quality. This photographic quality is continued throughout the book and is worthy of 5 crowns on its own; but the images are supplemented with succinct and informative descriptions which complement them perfectly.

This is a book which is very easy to just sit and drool over for hours, without really taking in the information. As a record of the Cairo museum it is impressive and complete, (I couldn't find any well-known items which were not included.)

This is a worthy addition to the collection of anyone interested in Egyptology, and also probably to anyone interested in History. While it is not a cheap book, there is no question of its value.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only museums were like this, 7 May 2001
By A Customer
This is a stunning book for two reasons. The photography and detail means you see things that you cannot when you visit them.

The second is the text. The text gives you all the background that you can't get from just looking at an object. It is an area that museums haven't developed. This is where this book wins.

5.0 out of 5 stars An experience beyond words......, 20 Jan 2000
By A Customer
When first I opened this book - I wept. Each page is filled with items of such beauty and craftmanship which remain unrivalled by anything fabricated in todays' high-tech world.

Buy it, borrow it......but above all, enjoy the amazingly moving experience this book delivers.
