"A richly illustrated, reasonably priced account of the burial sites of Egypt's greatest rulers."

—Houston Chronicle

Here is the definitive account of the Valley of the Kings, visited by millions of tourists and famous

throughout the world as the burial place of the great New Kingdom pharaohs. Some eighty tombs were dug

in the valley at the height of Egyptian power more than 3,000 years ago, their chambers stocked with

incredible treasures and decorated with magnificent wall paintings. It was here, in 1922, that Howard

Carter stumbled upon the virtually intact tomb of the boy-king, Tutankhamun. Recently the valley has

made international headlines with the discovery of the burial chapels of Ramesses the Great's many

sons; The Complete Valley of the Kings is the first book to publish an account of these remarkable

findings. Reeves and Wilkinson, both acknowledged authorities on the valley, bring together the art,

archaeology and history in one exciting account.
