The Lost Tombs of Thebes gives the reader unprecedented and privileged access to a selection of these extraordinary monuments.The beautiful scenes and texts that adorn their walls include some of the most exquisite examples of Egyptian art to be found anywhere in the land of the Nile. Combining scholarship with superb photography, including numerous foldouts, this magnificent volume will bring these lost tombs back into the light and illuminate the mysterious world of ancient Thebes and the nobles who lived and died there in Egypt's Golden Age.

'If you were able to travel in Egypt, you could never have a better view of the art in these private tombs. It is really breathtaking. Some of the mural paintings are as fresh and vivid as if created yesterday' - egyptology.blogspot.com 'Splendid ... only a few of the tombs featured in this book will be accessible to visitors, so it provides readers with a unique opportunity to see within them ... exquisite photographs' - Current World Archaeology
