He tells riveting stories of the men and women whose obsession with Egypt's ancient civilization helped to enrich and transform our understanding of the Nile Valley and its people, and left a lasting impression on Egypt, too. Travelers and treasure-hunters, ethnographers and archaeologists: whatever their motives, whatever their methods, a century of adventure and scholarship revealed a lost world, buried for centuries beneath the sands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toby Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393882403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393882407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
