Preserving Egypt's Cultural Heritage

This book features treasures of Egypt's cultural heritage conserved under the direction of the American Research Center in Egypt. Under the directorship of the late Robert K. Vincent, Jr., conservation projects funded by USAID in collaboration with Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities ranged widely in their scope. Projects involving prehistoric sites in Sinai, the shattered sarcophagus of Ramesses VI, exquisite Greco-Roman mosaics, fine Coptic wall paintings, and numerous training programs were all part of the work described in this volume.
