Valley of the Kings - Hardcover
For more than 500 years, the Valley of the Kings held a thriving community--and then it disappeared from the historical records for hundreds of years. Here is the story of the tombs and the ancient royalty buried there, as well as the compelling archeological hunt for the past. "...vividly written...authoritative, informative, and entertaining throughout."--TLS. "...bound to become a classic of Egyptology. One of the best serious books on archeology to appear in many years."--LA Herald Examiner.

John Louis Romer was educated at Ottershaw School and the Royal College of Art, London. During the late 1960s he worked in the temples and tombs at Thebes in Egypt with the University of Chicago Epigraphic Survey. In 1977-9 he originated and organised a major expedition to the Valley of the Kings which carried out the first excavation there since the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb. He has appeared in a number of television series.
