Joyce Tyldesley delivers an interesting, easy-reading report on the exploration of Ancient Egypt. Starting by Tutmoses, the "first egyptologist", the book is divided in parts: Explorers, Collectors and Archaeologists. The chapter about Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamon's tomb is breathtaking!
