Valley of the golden mummies

by Zahi A. Hawass

"A few years ago, an oasis in the middle of the desert 230 miles southwest of Cairo yielded a spectacular discovery: a group of intact Egyptian tombs containing at least sixty gilded mummies, and perhaps hundreds more. In this book, archaeologist Zahi Hawass, Director of the Giza Pyramids and Field Directory of the Bahariya Oasis excavation, reveals his first-hand experiences at this unprecedented site, with a narrative illustrated by photographs taken during the excavation."--BOOK JACKET.
