Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt

Tombs, mummies, and funerary items make up a significant portion of the archeological remains that survive ancient Egypt and have come to define the popular perception of Egyptology. Despite the many sensational discoveries in the last century, such as the tomb of Tutankhamun, the tombs of some of the most famous individuals in the ancient world—Imhotep, Nefertiti, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra—have not yet been found.


Archeologist Chris Naunton examines the famous pharaohs, their achievements, the bling they might have been buried with, the circumstances in which they were buried, and why those circumstances may have prevented archeologists from finding these tombs.


In Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt, Naunton sheds light on the lives of these ancient Egyptians and makes an exciting case for the potential discovery of these lost tombs. 

Mormintele, mumiile si obiectele funerare reprezinta o parte semnificativa a ramasitelor arheologice care supravietuiesc Egiptului antic si au ajuns sa defineasca perceptia populara a egiptologiei. In ciuda numeroaselor descoperiri senzationale din secolul trecut, precum mormantul lui Tutankhamon, mormintele unora dintre cei mai renumiti indivizi din lumea antica - Imhotep, Nefertiti, Alexandru cel Mare si Cleopatra - nu au fost inca gasite. Arheologul Chris Naunton examineaza faimosii faraoni, realizarile lor, bling-ul cu care ar fi putut fi ingropati, circumstantele in care au fost ingropati si motivul pentru care acele circumstante ar fi putut impiedica arheologii sa gaseasca aceste morminte. lumineaza viata acestor egipteni antici si ofera un caz interesant pentru descoperirea potentiala a acestor morminte pierdute.
