Secrets from the Sand
• Zahi Hawass
BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR •
2011 •
PAPER
• 270 PAGES
An illustrated celebration of a career in archaeology by Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt. Hawass takes us from Giza, where he supervised the restoration of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid and excavated the cemetery of the pyramid builders, to the Valley of the Golden Mummies in Bahariya Oasis. A storyteller par excellence, Dr. Hawass speculates about life in ancient Egypt based on the many excavations conducted by himself or under his supervision. He also spins tales of tomb robbers, explains how he negotiates with local Egyptians whose houses may lie directly above important sites, and describes in exciting detail the experience of entering an ancient tomb for the first time after thousands of years.
