 “If you could spend a day at the Giza Pyramids, you would watch the sun rise over the Eastern Desert and see its light caress the face of the Sphinx… Just this one day would convince you that the allure and mystery of ancient Egypt are still alive.” This is how Zahi Hawass, one of the world’s greatest Egyptologists, introduces his journey along the Nile through the thousands of years of the civilization of the pharaohs. Through pictures by the most prestigious international photographers, charts and explanatory drawings, Hawass eloquently introduces readers to the treasures of ancient Egypt
