The Lost Tombs of Thebes: Life in Paradise

Author: Zahi Hawass
Stars: 3
Review by: MandyApgar

Pictorially, it was nice. Well presented with lots of good photos it should have been a lot better but too frequent gatefold pages took away from the flow of the text. Basically, it was an account of the tombs of nobility and honored persons in the Thebes area of Egypt. I didn't learn anything new except they featured the tomb of a gentleman named Roy a lot - which I liked as he had such an Americanized name. It was cute that they had the tombs of such and such Egyptian with a classically ethnic name, and then a guy named Roy. Good for him.
