"A great read. It's easy to want put yourself in the story, wishing you were there in the crowded antechamber as they broke the final seals to the royal chamber. I only wish there were more photographs of the site and objects, but in all, a great read about one of the greatest and fascinating archeological discoveries ever."
"If you are interested in Archaeology or Egyptology at all, you must read this book. It is a classic. Howard Carter describes step by step the entering and opening of King Tut's tomb. You can feel the excitement in his words. I only wish there were more pictures and a more extensive list of the items therein."
"a must read for anyone passionate or even interested about egyptology. originally published as separate volumes, condensed in this edition by the National Geographic Society. The book transports you to the middle of the egyptian desert and carries you step by step to the greatest discovery in egyptology, the events that led to it and all the conservation efforts that followed."
