A World Beneath the Sands by Toby Wilkinson

A World Beneath the Sands by Toby Wilkinson

Regular price £16.99

A well-documented chronicle of the discipline of Egyptology from its birth in the aftermath of the 1798 Napoleonic expedition and decipherment of hieroglyphs in 1822, through the following golden age of exploration and intense race of antiquity acquisition, and culminating with the astounding discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. 
The book offers a lively account of the activities of explorers, archaeologists, travellers and treasure hunters, whilst also shedding light on the imperial ambitions and colonial practices that have always been associated with Egyptology.
