The Great Belzoni by Stanley Mayes
This is the life story of Giovanni Belzoni, who became one of the giants of 19th-century Egyptian archaeology. He was the first person to penetrate the heart of the second pyramid at Giza, the first European to visit the oasis of Siwah and to discover the ruined city of Berenice on the Red Sea.
