Zahi A. Hawass

Thames & Hudson Ltd, 2003

A great read!
This is Dr. Hawass' autobiography. A very fun read, lots of great stories, not at all dry. Dr. Hawass is alot of fun, and a real character. He is also the right man in the right place at the right time, as protector and custodian of Egypt's legacy. I was privileged to enter the Sphinx enclosure at Giza with Dr. Hawass in January 2004 and got to see firsthand some of the changes he has put in ...

Royal Tombs is a Trip in Time.
Nothing short of exceptional!!! I had heard that the book was a bit tricky to read - what with many foldout pages - but I didn't find that to be the case at all. This might be the situation for someone who is leafing through the book quickly - but this a book that needs to be savored. The photography is fantastic - you get a REALY good idea of what the insides of the Royal Tombs look like. I ...

Over 150 pages of lovely color images illustrate relics from the times and highlight the riches of King Tut's chambers
There have been plenty of books on Egypt and Tutankhamun; so why the need for yet another? This rich history does more than provide a colorful review; it goes into detail to capture the shifting political climate of the times, contrasting facts with fictions and providing stories, insights, images and review to enhance a foundation of historical understanding of Egypt. Over a hundred fifty pages ...

Very good book
I bought the book before seeing the tour in Philly. The book is very well done, and very good representation of the tour. Beautiful photographs, plus good rich text around the history of the 18th dynasty. Other reviews talk about the tour, which isn't really what the book is about. The tour was rather crowded, and I was somewhat disappointed that all the objects were small, and no Tut ...

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1990

A HANDY HISTORY OF THE PYRAMIDS
Dr. Hawass does not need to be introduced to the public: he is the famous curator of Giza Plateau, and this alone is a guaranty for the scholarship contained in this book. Although there are a huge amount of literature about the Pyramids, YOU CAN NOT MISS THIS TITLE, which is full of new insights on them.

How the Great Pyramid Was Built

Craig B. Smith, Zahi Hawass, ..., 2004

Excellent analysis
The reader will have one question in mind after finishing "How the Great Pyramid Was Built": is this a book about Ancient Egypt, utilizing the tools of project management? Or a book about project management, using the Great Pyramid as an extended example? However, the answer is probably moot. Both project managers and Egyptophiles will gain excellent insights from reading Craig Smith's book. ...

White Star, 2006

Gorgeous Photographs, and good information
This is a HUGE coffee table book but has great photographs and also a lot of first rate information. The author is Zahi Hawass, you see his name on a lot of current Egyptian books because he is the head of Egyptian antiquities, all tomb openings, all artifacts, all exhibits that leave Egypt, go through him. If you can find this book used, reasonably, it is worth having.

Golden Age of coffee table book
Having seen the original King Tuthamen exhibit in L.A. about 27 years ago I was most interested in seeing if the current exhibit could surpass the glory of the first. This book should be required reading for anyone going to one of the four cities where these priceless Egyptian artifiacts are to be displayed. I have tickets for the Chicago showing. To have this book to remind and inspire me long ...
