If you have been or are going to the Egyptian sites...this books is essential.

The sites are large often crowded and confusing... It is hard to get an overview of what you are looking at.

This book will help you get a perspective that is not available any other way... It would be great to take this book to the sites and use it as a visual guide... I wish I'd had it when I was visiting the sites...

The photos have a reality that mere graphics and drawings can't match...

For the enthusiast of Egyptian Antiquities this book is a keeper...

This book is just what it says--Aerial photographs of various monuments of ancient Egypt. I found it extremely satisfying. I visited Egypt about 18 months ago, and was in many of these same places--The opportunity to see them from a different vantage point was enjoyable. I love the book, though I wish the photos were in color rather than in black and white. I realize that there are probably technical reasons why b&w gets a clearer image, and is more economical, but I still regret color's absence....

I was actually watching a T.V. show called Sightings it showed the Black and White pictures of Egypt and I just had to have it. The book has stunning pictures. It is a must BUY.
