Seventeen Egyptologists and archaeologists probe the most compelling mysteries of ancient Egypt in this illustrated collection of 70 brief essays. Answers to age-old questions about Egyptian burial rituals, architecture, and royalty are provided, and recent discoveries are discussed—evidence that Tutankhamen was murdered, boats buried intact deep in the desert beside the tombs of the earliest kings, unexplained shafts inside the Great Pyramids aligned with the stars, and a massive mausoleum built for the many sons of Ramses II. The essays are supplemented with evocative photographs, diagrams, maps and plans. Diecisiete egiptólogos y arqueólogos exploran los misterios más fascinantes a la luz de los más recientes descubrimientos e investigaciones en esta colección ilustrada de 70 ensayos breves. Se proporcionan respuestas para algunas de las preguntas más comunes sobre rituales de muerte, arquitectura, y la monarquía, y descubrimientos recientes son discutidos: pruebas de que Tutankhamón fue asesinado; barcos intactos enterrados en lo más profundo del desierto junto a las tumbas de los primeros reyes; inexplicables respiraderos dentro de la Gran Pirámide aparentemente alineados con las estrellas; y un enorme mausoleo construido para los numerosos hijos de Ramses II. Documentado con fotografías, dibujos, mapas, y planos. Bill Manley is a tutor in archaeology at the University of Glasgow, the research associate of the national museums of Scotland, and an honorary research fellow of the University of Liverpool. He is a contributor to How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs and the editor of The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Egypt. |
