The Rape of the Nile: Tomb Robbers, Tourists, and Archaeologists in Egypt, Revised and Updated Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fagan is a great tour guide of the heyday of Indiana Jones style archaeology in Egypt during the 18th and 19th centuries. His narrative is compelling and the ancedotes entertaining - but do yourself a favor and find the original edition (it came out in 1970's) at a used bookstore (on or off-line). It is PACKED with gorgeous illustrations that really bring the story to life. I can't believe they reissued this edition without them. I can only assume they did so to save money on printing costs.
It is still, of course, a great book without the illustrations; but they do so much to bring the story to life.
