Book Reviews of The Rape of the Nile: Tomb Robbers, Tourists, and Archaeologists in Egypt, Revised and Updated
Book Review: Great entertainment!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very interesting account of the 1800's scramble to get antiquities and the careless attitude of those in power for what they had. It read like a novel. An entertaining account of Belzoni and his ability to gain the respect of the locals, his fortuitous discoveries in the Valley of the Kings and the day to day saga of getting artifacts out of the country. The many accounts of treachery, competition, politics and greed surface throughout.
Well worth reading!
