" The pyramids reminded me of all I came to Egypt to discover - the dusty tombs, the ornate temples, the golden treasures, and the strange, unearthly mummies, but I have also come to find something more .... "

~~ Emily Sands 1926

Large new hardcover book. All special features are included - see below. 

Prepare to be spellbound and have your imagination transported to another time in history.

A new discovery from the publishers of Dragonology! Who can resist the allure of ancient Egypt? The thrill of uncovering mysteries that have lain hidden for thousands of years? Not the feisty Miss Emily Sands, who in 1926, four years after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, led an expedition up the Nile in search of the tomb of the god Osiris.

Alas, Miss Sands and crew soon vanished into the desert, never to be seen again. But luckily, her keen observations live on in the form of a lovingly kept journal, full of drawings photographs, booklets, fold-out maps, postcards and many other intriguing samples.

Rich with information about life in ancient Egypt and peppered with Miss Sands's lively narration, Egyptology concludes with a letter from the former Keeper of Antiquities at the British Museum, explaining which parts of this unique tale may be accepted as fact, which are guided by legend, and which reflect the author's delightful sense of fancy.
