Description:
London: Thames and Hudson, 2001. An as New unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. 207 Pages. 141 Illustrations, 23 in colour. One of the most controversial figures in history, Akhenaten has captured the imagination like no other Egyptian pharaoh. Much has been written about this strange, persecuted figure, whose freakish appearance - elongated and effete - is totally at odds with that of the traditional Egyptian ruler-hero.Scholars have speculated that he was perhaps a eunuch, or a sufferer from a genetic disorder - or even a woman. Known today as a heretic, Akhenaten sought to impose upon Egypt to worship a single god, and changed the country in every way, from art to the written language. he book is a revolutionary interpretation of a revolutionary king. **A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.9 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST** . First. Hard Cover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
London: Heinemann, 1996. A Near Fine unmarked copy with age toning to closed edges with Very Good dustjacket. 362 pages. 74 illustrations. Third reprint same year as first edition. For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed towards the east, his eyes focused on eternity, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. And today, as our civilisation stands poised at the end of a great cycle, it is a message that beckons insistently to be understood. All the clues are in place. Geology and archeo-astronomy have already indicated that the lion-bodied Sphinx may be vastly older than Egyptologists currently believe, dating not from 2500 BC, but from 10,500 BC - the beginning of the astrological Age of Leo. We now know too, that the three pyramids of Giza are not merely the tombs of megalomaniac Pharaohs but form a precise map of the three stars of Orion's belt in 15 million tons of solid stone. So is someone trying to tell us something? And if so what?… Read More

Description:
London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1998. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a little foxing to closed top edge) with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. 264 pages. 33 illustrations. Three thousand years ago, Tutankhamen died mysteriously at the age of nineteen. Hastily, a commoner's tomb was readied for his burial, his body mummified, fabulous jewels and furniture gathered, the tomb sealed. Then silence. In the years that followed, almost every trace of the young king and his wife was literally erased. In 1922, the small tomb was uncovered; inside lay the most glorious royal Egyptian treasures ever unearthed, and Tutankhamen's place in history was restored. Bob Brier, a leading Egyptologist, uncovers what really happened to Tutankhamen and uses new forensic evidence to show that Tutankhamen was brutally murdered. . First. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
London: Profile, 2007. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. 200 pages. Illustrations in the text. The Rosetta Stone has been in the Brtish Museum for 200 years and is the single most visited object in the entire collection. A pharaoh's forgotten decree, recorded in three scripts, it is the key to the lost hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, a mystery which had intrigued men of science since the end of the Roman empire. It was discovered by Napoleon's troops in Egypt in the summer of 1799. Two men in particular worked on the stone's secrets: the first is Thomas Young, the brilliant English polymath who deserves to be better known. The second is the Frenchman Jean-Francois Champollin, the mercurial lover of all things Egyptian, who is known as the father of Egyptology. What is the real story of these mens rivalry and who deserves the greater credit? B2C. First. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 2001. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. 234 pages. 25 illustrations. 2 maps. In this fascinating book, Gerald O'Farrell shows that Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon actually discovered Tutankhamun's tomb several years before they announced the find to the world. First they looted it, even destroying some artefacts to make it appear that robbers of old had entered the tomb, before re-sealing it and leading the world's media to the site to claim their place in history. And behind this shadowy tale lies another mystery. What happened to the papyri Carter and Carnarvon found in the tomb, which then swiftly disappeared? Would its contents have revealed information so shocking that the British authorities conspired to bury the truth? The book is not only a riveting story of skulduggery and conspiracy in the Valley of the Kings but uncovers tantalising evidence that the famous 'mummy's… Read More
