The gripping first-hand account of the greatest discovery at the Valley of the Kings since Tutankhamun.
Kent Weeks and his team excavated for months before finding KV5 - the largest tomb in Egypt, unique in its maze-like plan, and the first example of a royal family mausoleum ever found. For 3,000 years no one had entered its chambers. And were it not for a project to widen an asphalt road, it might never have been found. Kent Weeks gives a day-by-day account of the excavation and the team's journey through the labyrinthine corridors they found inside: the burial place for as many as thirty of Ramesses II's sons.
The information that the tomb holds will change our perception of ancient Egypt and bring to life the story of its most powerful pharaoh.
Contains black and white and full-colour photographs.
