An important scholarly — and popular —
volume by the great British Egyptologist, E.A. Wallis Budge, of Tutankhamen, appearing
immediately after the great 1922 discovery by Howard Carter and George Herbert
of the tomb (c.1332-1323 B.C.E., 18th Dynasty). A beautifully printed work,
generously illustrated with plates and drawings in text. Budge’s translation
and publication of this volume — which includes his translations of Pharaoh
Akhenaten’s “Hymns to the Aten” — helped clarify the enormity of this
discovery as the work contributed to the cultural frenzy associated with
“King Tut” and his golden era. In very good condition: corners and
spine ends lightly bumped and chafed, gift inscription on front endpaper; text is
otherwise clean and free of markings.
