Samenvatting
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo holds the finest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world. Here for the first time they have been properly photographed in this unique volume. Opening with a review of the events that led to the construction of the current building in the 1860s, the book then follows the chronological layout of the Museum, with striking images from the collections accompanied by text by an international team of world-renowned Egyptologists. Highlights include the 4,000 year old jewels of a princess from Dahshur, for the first time shown to a non-specialist audience, the funerary treasure of Queen Ahhotep, the tombs of the kings and queens at Tanis on the Nile Delta, statues from the Temple of Amun at Karnak, and the treasure of Tutankhamun.
