Amazing faces
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
For anyone who loves to read about Egypt and her kings and queens, Faces of Pharaohs is wonderful! While the biographies of each are short, the author covers over fifty burials, including photographs of each. Robert Partridge's book is packed with hard-to-find b/w photos of the unwrapped mummies themselves and includes descriptions of each mummy and coffin in detail including the Ramesses, the Thutmoses, the Amenhoteps, the Ahmoses, Queen Tetisheri, Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, Queen Tiye, Seti I and II, and - of course - Tutankhamun. I was not only fascinated but deeply moved by the faces of the kings and queens - most look almost like they are smiling.
