Lost Tombs of Thebes

The Lost Tombs of Thebes – Life in Paradise is a lavish, photographic collection celebrating the hundreds of unique and wonderfully decorated tombs uncovered in the Theban massif of southern Egypt. Buried at the site are courtiers and high officials, as well as the very artisans who themselves worked on the royal tombs. Just a handful of the tombs are open to the public and, with text by world-renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and over 200 new colour photographs of the archaeological wonder by Sandro Vannini, The Lost Tombs of Thebes gives the reader unprecedented and privileged access to a selection of the New Kingdom’™s extraordinary monuments.The new material featured in The Lost Tombs of Thebes is largely due to the successful initiative of Egypt’™s Supreme Council of Antiquities which, in 2008, finally succeeded in accessing the site of some of the most important tombs which had, until then, been situated beneath one of the area’™s larger modern day villages.A combination of scholarship, over 200 vibrant colour photographs and 20 fold out panoramic pictures, The Lost Tombs of Thebes illuminates Egypt’™s Golden Age anew.
