It recounts the rediscovery of ancient Egypt after centuries of neglect: the first expeditions, the race to decipher hieroglyphs, and the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. It follows travellers, archaeologists and adventurers who explored its ruins and recovered temples, tombs and objects that brought a forgotten civilisation back to light.

Suitable for readers interested in Egyptian history, archaeology, and narratives of exploration and discovery.
