5.0 out of 5 stars Author's Viewpoint, 23 Feb 2003
By Mjp Mrs Ma Morrow "Desert Rat" (Pinner, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This volume is the result of three survey trips to the Eastern Desert of Egypt to look for carvings on the local rocks that in a majority of cases predate the Pharaonic era and thus give clues to the identity of the Ancient Egyptian civilisation. We found and recorded more sites than have ever been assembled before and the book contains around 1,000 photographs in b&w and colour and numerous line drawings of over 150 sites of which c.120 are 'new'. Sites are located by GPS orientation to enable futher research to be carried out in the areas visited. Since Hans Winkler's prioneering volumes for the EES in the late 1930s there have been few attempts to seriously catalogue these valuable records that date from perhaps 5,000BC right up to the 20th century AD. Thus carvings from Prehistory may be found on the same rock surface as those from the Pharaonic, Persian, Greek, Roman, Christian and Arab eras.
The work was mainly done by volunteers who paid their own participation costs yet this volume complete as it is barely, if you'll excuse the pun, scratches the surface of the carvings to be found in this area of the desert. Unfortuantely many of the most valuable carvings, along the main east-west arterial routes, are in danger of being destroyed by quarrying and mining before being properly recorded.
