Reviews

[Tonya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mostly skimmed the text. Enjoyed all the photos. Recently read 'Empress of the Nile" which went into detail about the excavation of several of the tombs.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

A complete examination of the contents of the tomb and funerary rites practiced at his internment. There is also a breakdown of the Amanara rebellion and the major players of the reigns of Tutankhamen and Ankhnaten. The research is meticulous but the information is quite dated.
