Description: The Egyptian Museum houses the world’s greatest collection of Egyptian treasures and antiquities, tens of thousands of stunning and fascinating objects dating from the earliest Predynastic times right through to the Greek and Roman Periods. Visitors to this great storehouse may become easily overwhelmed by the vast number of objects on display. But here for the first time is the world’s best-known Egyptologist’s personal introduction to the unmissable highlights of the Museum―Zahi Hawass’s own selection of his favorite 200 exhibits. For each piece, he gives some background to its discovery and significance, and describes what it means for him in terms of the art or the history of ancient Egypt, and why it strikes a personal chord.“Due to my love of the Egyptian Museum, I thought that it would be wonderful to write a guide to its treasures, and to talk about my favorite objects within.”―Zahi Hawass Review:"Every single positive word that a person can think of falls into this book. This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in the past, present AND future of Egyptian history. (When I say 'future', you will read in the introduction, by Zahi Hawass, what plans are in place for the Grand Museum of Egypt that is currently under construction.)The photographer, Sandro Vannini, took some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen of Egyptian antiquities.This book covers everything you can think of: Predynastic and Early Dynastic period, The Old Kingdom, the Monuments of the Middle Kingdom, the Monuments of the New Kingdom, Amarna rooms, Monuments of the Later Periods, History of the Royal Mummies, History of the Royal Tombs of Tanis, History of the Tutankhamun Collection, Jewelry of Ancient Egypt and more.If you're anything like me and love the history of Ancient Egypt but can't afford to travel to Egypt to visit all the different museums, this is a book you can not pass up. This book is a Collector's Edition that anyone would be proud to display!"
