Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. A near new book and D,J, that is clean tighgt with unmarked pages. 399pp, photo illustrations, line drawings," This is the flambouant story of the ambitious plunderers and pioneering aracheologoists who helped first destroy and then (partially) preserve the past of Ancient Egypt. In particular it focuses on the great revival French and British excavators who staked out their claims in the first decades of the 19th century. Cheif of these was the circus strongman Giovanni Belzoni, who opened up the Second Pyramid and the temples of Abu Simbel, and who discovered the magnificent royal tombs in the Valley of Kings. It is a tale of shrewd consuls and ruthless pashas: of travellers like Amelia Edwards and Lucie Duff-Gordon; and of archaeologists like Auguste Mariette and F;linders Petrie, who changed the course of Egyptology and whose successors turned a treasure hunt into a scientific discipline".
