Who is there among us who cannot be said to be curious about the pharaohs of Egypt? If you are, then you must be aware of the missing tombs of the most famous or nefarious ones. Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, the Third Intermediate ones, Herihor, the Amarna royals, Amenhotep, and Imhotep the commoner who became a god. It’s all here in Naunton’s readable and engaging book which is written, not in coffee table style but in the newsworthy style of what archaeologists know and speculate.
