Description
|
|
|
|
Illustrated with color drawings and 200 vivid photographs—up to 20 x 14 inches—this book surveys what we know best about the ancient Egyptians: their complex funerary rites and deeply held beliefs about the afterlife. Revealing the secrets of the embalming room, the meaning of the amulets found with mummies, and the ornate splendor of the mummies themselves, this volume explores all facets of a practice that lasted for more than 3,000 years, spotlighting such examples of well-preserved mummies as Tutankhamen, Seti I, and Ramses the Great. With an introduction by leading Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, the text describes in detail how mummification functioned to preserve for eternity the bodies of the ancient Egyptians.
