Egyptian Mummies by Robert M Brier

Mysteries, myths, sacred rituals and hieroglyphic writings - the ancient Egyptians left many questions unanswered. This easily accesssible book gives both a historical context of ancient Egyptian culture and a contemporary interpretation. It includes: a complete analysis of the art of mummification; a listing and description of the known royal mummies, their subsequent unwrappings, X-rays and CAT scans, and where they are now housed; stories of grave robberies and stolen mummies, as well as the trials and tribulations of archaelogists as they piece together the puzzles and unlock the riddles of the pyramids; and a detailed look at the mummies in King Tutankhamen's tomb, and DNA research that led to the partial cloning of a mummy's DNA sequence. Bob Briar is the author of "Ancient Egyptian Magic".
