"The Thalassic Collection, Ltd., is one of the world's greatest private collections of Egyptian art, consisting of over 175 rare and beautiful objects ranging in date from 3500 B.C. to the Roman era in the first century A.D. These relics of Pharaonic civilization are illustrated here, along with contributions from over 20 scholars on Egyptomania, Egyptian art and history, and materials and techniques in Egyptian art. The collection is particularly rich in important sculptures, both significant historical monuments as well as artistic masterpieces. Also included are a large number of small items including jewels and amulets, inlays and architectural decorations, and painstakingly crafted objects of everyday use. Lastly, the collection also documents the development of Egyptology in the 18th and 19th centuries through outstanding examples of Egyptomania, including the evocative paintings of Gerome, David Roberts, and Howard Carter."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo holds the finest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world. Here for the first time they have been properly photographed in this unique volume. Opening with a review of the events that led to the construction of the current building in the 1860s, the book then follows the chronological layout of the Museum, with striking images from the collections accompanied by text by an international team of world-renowned Egyptologists. Highlights include the 4,000 year old jewels of a princess from Dahshur, for the first time shown to a non-specialist audience, the funerary treasure of Queen Ahhotep, the tombs of the kings and queens at Tanis on the Nile Delta, statues from the Temple of Amun at Karnak, and the treasure of Tutankhamun.
