a thorough examination of 11 tombs

The author examines the tombs of private persons, and describes their layout, decoration, contents and structure. Eleven Theban tombs (TT52, TT55, TT56, TT69, TT96, TT100, TT49, TT192, TT409, TT1 and TT359) are beautifully presented and illustrated. Heavily updated from its original German edition, this first English translation is a wonderful addition to public and private libraries.

This book should be required reading for art lovers, Egyptophiles and travelers alike.
