{"product_id":"a-world-beneath-the-sands-the-g","title":"A WORLD BENEATH THE SANDS: THE G","description":"A thrilling history of the West’s scramble for the riches of ancient Egypt by the foremost Egyptologist of our time.\nFrom the decipherment of hieroglyphics in 1822 to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon a hundred years later, the uncovering of Egypt’s ancient past took place in an atmosphere of grand adventure and international rivalry.\nIn A World Beneath the Sands, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson chronicles the ruthless race between the British, French, Germans, and Americans to lay claim to its mysteries and treasures. He tells riveting stories of the men and women whose obsession with Egypt’s ancient civilization helped to enrich and transform our understanding of the Nile Valley and its people, and left a lasting impression on Egypt, too. Travelers and treasure-hunters, ethnographers and archaeologists: whatever their motives, whatever their methods, a century of adventure and scholarship revealed a lost world, buried for centuries beneath the sands. 16 pages of color illustrations; 23 black-and-white illustrations\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1324006897\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ00A8XD_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wilkinson, Toby\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
