In this illustrated volume, Egyptologist Zahi Hawass guides the reader on a journey through the architectural landscape of pharaonic Egypt, from the houses and palaces of the living to the temples of the gods, and finally to the tombs and temples of the dead. Along the way, he will reveal many mysteries of ancient Egypt, and recount adventures that he and his colleagues have had while uncovering the secrets that lie below the sands.
