"Egypt boasts some of the most spectacular ancient ruins in the world, scattered across the entire country. Over the past two centuries, archaeologists have unearthed the burials of some of Egypt's celebrated pharaohs, from the chambers deep within the famed pyramids at Giza to the tombs hidden away in the rocky hills of the Valley of the Kings. And yet, many of the most intriguing and notorious individuals remain unaccounted for. Where are Alexander the Great and Cleopatra, both said by the historians of the Greek and Roman empires to have been buried in Egypt? Chris Naunton describes the quest for these and other great 'missing' tombs and those that we know must exist, but have yet to be found and presents the key moments of discovery that have yielded astonishing finds and created the archetypal image of the archaeologist poised at the threshold of a tomb left untouched for millennia"--… (meer)

Let’s just say that I have yet to meet a history book on ancient Egypt that I dislike. It’s what originally got me into history and on the history career path. Chris Naunton does a fantastic job of relating the stories of these people and their tombs and how they have been lost — and found in some cases — over time. This was a very interesting read, and I found myself breezing through this book, despite spending most of the holiday season with family.
This book is a recent release (November 27, if I’m remembering correctly), and once I had it, I was super excited to read this. It definitely DID NOT disappoint me. Naunton brings up a lot of good points and discussion topics that I’d like to look into more once I have a bit more time to focus on that.
I definitely recommend this for anyone’s TBR list.
Second Review So upon reading this book for a second time, as with any reread, I was a noticing things I hadn’t caught during my initial read of the book. I still thoroughly enjoyed the read, and Naunton poses an interesting point at the end of the book: the question of whether or not these tombs - along with others - will ever be found ( )
