Treasures of Egypt: a Legacy in Photographs from the Pyramids to Cleopatra

Treasures of Egypt: a Legacy in Photographs from the Pyramids to Cleopatra by Ann Williams ’74, who was a staff writer for many years at National Geographic magazine, draws from their photo archive and includes stunning photographs that celebrate the beauty and cultural heritage of Egypt on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb. Historical milestones featured in the volume include the opening of King Tut’s tomb in 1922, the unearthing of perfectly preserved boats, entombed for eternity near Giza’s pyramids; the finding of a complex of royal graves filled with dazzling gold artifacts at the ancient city of Tanis; and newly uncovered traces of Alexandria, Abydos, and other fabled sites.
