Why read it?
1 author picked The Treasures of the Pyramids as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This overlooked coffee table book is a tour-de-force survey of the decorated mastabas, pyramids, and tombs of the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Written by international experts and edited by the world-famous Zahi Hawass, Treasures of the Pyramids offers something for everyone. I assign many chapters in my undergraduate classes because they are concise, well-written in English by French and German experts, and profusely illustrated in color.
From Melinda's list on ancient Egyptian tombs.
