Tombs, mummies, and funerary items make up a significant portion of the
archeological remains that survive ancient Egypt and have come to define
the popular perception of Egyptology. Despite the many sensational
discoveries in the last century, such as the tomb of Tutankhamun, the
tombs of some of the most famous individuals in the ancient
world--Imhotep, Nefertiti, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra--have not
yet been found.
Archeologist Chris Naunton examines the famous pharaohs, their
achievements, the bling they might have been buried with, the
circumstances in which they were buried, and why those circumstances may
have prevented archeologists from finding these tombs.
In Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt, Naunton sheds light on the
lives of these ancient Egyptians and makes an exciting case for the
potential discovery of these lost tombs.
