The Valley of the Kings: The Tombs and the Funerary Temples of Thebes West

This massive book guides you through the discovery of the extraordinary historical treasures which have been found in Egypt's most famous heritage site. These are treasures and antiquities which span over 3,000 years from the First Dynasty of 3100 BC to the Roman period, AD 300. With the aid of superb photographs and reconstruction drawings, it has been possible to reconstruct the events, the Royal temples and the enormous temples from the five centuries of the most important New Kingdom (from 1570-1070 BC) based on archaeological evidence.

The text has been compiled by 14 leading Egyptologists under the editorship of the Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo.
