Reviews

“Egypt’s former minister of antiquities has written many popular books on Tutankhamun, but this one contains the perfect balance of up-to-date research and beautiful photography. It includes stories about Hawass’s own experiences investigating Tutankhamun.”—Garry Shaw, The Art Newspaper “The forte of this book, besides its illustrations, is the additional material it contains about other excavations and the scientific processes carried out to determine Tutankhamun’s familial relations . . . written in a very readable style”—Gill Woods, Thames Valley ancient Egypt Society Newsletter PRAISE FOR SCANNING THE PHARAOHS: ""Essential. A superb, semi-popular account of the results of CT imaging performed on several New Kingdom Egyptian royal mummies. . . . The results are sometimes surprising but always fascinating. . . . This book will be of great interest not only to scholars but to anyone else fascinated by Egyptian mummies.""—CHOICE ""[A] remarkable book. The scans are reproduced for all to see and an extensive section of color images provides information never before reported. The comprehensive bibliography is also a contribution. This volume sets a high standard for future scans of the mummies of ancient Egypt.""—Bob Brier, Journal of the American Oriental Society ""This publication is certainly a great step forward on the path to the discovery and understanding of the life and thought of the ancient Egyptians through multidisciplinary research on the royal mummies.""—Bretislav Vachala, Archiv Orientální ""Fascinating and well-organized . . . incredibly appealing. Imaging professionals and those who are interested in ancient history will find this book fascinating.""—Patti Hensel, Radiologic Technology
