Drawing from National Geographic's unparalleled photo archive, the images in this breathtaking volume celebrate the vibrant beauty and rich cultural heritage of Egypt on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut's tomb.

Egypt’s rich history astonishes us again and again with priceless treasures, exquisite craftsmanship, and a bounty of artifacts that enables us to envision the past with extraordinary detail. It is an epic saga 5,000 years in the making, and one that National Geographic has covered for more than a century.

This magnificent book, published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, portrays the hallowed country’s most remarkable achievements, viewed through decades of discovery chronicled in National Geographic magazine. From the breathless opening of King Tut’s tomb in 1922 to the astonishing find of perfectly preserved boats, entombed for eternity near Giza’s pyramids, here is the story of a proud and dynamic empire that changed the world; its colossal architecture and imposing statues force us to re-think the engineering limitations of the world before modern tools were available.

Documenting a series of incredible discoveries―including a complex of royal graves filled with dazzling gold artifacts at the ancient city of Tanis, intriguing clues to the life and times of Cleopatra, and newly uncovered traces of Alexandria, Abydos, and other fabled sites―Treasures of Egypt embodies the culture’s most fascinating historical milestones. Filled with vivid photographs, revealing time lines, and profiles of major explorers in the field, this exquisite book will inform and inspire.

Exquisite book

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023

What a marvelous book, with stunning photos and interesting information. I had ordered several other "kids" books about Egypt for my 7 year old grandson. The formatting and illustrations were either challenging, for one reason or another, or woefully lacking. Finally I ordered this book. What a delight! He will LOVE it... now and when he's older. It will be a wonderful reference book all his life!

Okay so let’s be honest about what this is: a companion to Discovery Channel existing TV series available on Disney+.
Accordingly, there’s a lot in this book that you’ll have already watched on tv, or vice versa.
I learned about antique Egypt a while ago, when the field was dominated by non-Egyptian egyptologists. Egyptology has changed radically since, both in terms of content and philosophy…
With this said, I bought this book for one purpose and it was to read it with my kid who loved the Disney+ programs. It did the job and I guess I’m content with this.
Is that more interesting than books or even magazines written 30/40 years ago when that was no internet: no. Therefore, this isn’t a book I’d recommend to purchase if you’ve never read or watched anything else about pharaonic Egypt. Instead, I’d redirect you to searching second hand books written between 1970 and 1995.

Great photos and stories of Egypt in the early last century. Great photos of some of the structures before the construction of the great dam.

Wonderful photos prints and artifacts of Egypt's treasure of the Pharaohs. Fantastically illustrated in this book. I print is easy to read not like some printers that print so small use older folks need to break out a magnifying glass. Great for a coffee table book that others would like to glimpse at.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2023

Verified Purchase

The book arrived quickly, but it was damaged. It’s increasingly common with orders fulfilled by Amazon that larger, hardcover books are damaged as they are not packaged properly. I am finding it’s better when they are sent by other sellers through Amazon.

With regards to the book itself, I had high expectations, but the book lacks in many areas.

For a start, a lot of the pictures are not of a very good quality, from being out of focus (especially landscapes) to being either too large (with obvious reduction of quality) or too small and with many of the subjects photographed of little or no great interest.

I bought quite a few other books on ancient Egypt and the quality is far, far superior (e.g. the Tutankhamun book by Taschen).

The narrative is quite random I find, divided by themes that are not in any particular order. There are images of lots of different things all mixed together as part of these chapters, and certainly many of the artefacts included are very minor, certainly no ‘treasures’ of Egypt.

One thing that I find very annoying is that there are no details of the location of the artefacts whose pictures are included in the book, nor enough details about where they come from, what these objects are, and so on, so it’s difficult to place them in the context of what one is reading.

I found myself flicking through the pages quite quickly in the end and loosing interest.

There are much better books about ancient Egypt and especially the treasures of Tutankhamun.

I wouldn’t recommend buying the book.
