Book Reviews of The Rape of the Nile: Tomb Robbers, Tourists, and Archaeologists in Egypt, Revised and Updated
Book Review: A thorough & detail understanding of how & where the treasures have gone.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would say this is an excellent book for Egyptology lovers; especially beginner, who would like to have an overview of where , who & how the treasures have been robbed all through the years. Readers can have a thorough understanding on how the European museums acquired all these artefacts, the logistics & the historical incidents involved.
The book is easy to read & is able to keep your interest from beginning to the end. The footnotes is especially useful if you would like to go into more detail reading.
