"Temples, Tombs and Hieroglyphs is a completely new and intriguing look at the history of Egypt as seen through its archaeological heritage. Barbara Mertz has approached her subject with insight and a considerable enthusiasm. The Pharaohs and their subjects come alive in her sparkling prose. The descriptions of custom and place are informative and vivid. Not since C.W. Ceram's Gods, Graves and Scholars has such a lucid, fascinating and imaginative volume appeared." -- Publisher's description.
