At the same time, it is the only guide to present an overview of the currents of scholarship that make up modern Egyptology, including all the major theories on the origin and purpose of the pyramids, and on such controversial figures as the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten and the great queen Hatshepsut, as well as detailed explanations of the extraordinary funerary texts carved and painted in the Egyptian tombs.The book is both a practical guide and an essential companion for the modern pilgrim, and a stimulating introduction for anyone contemplating the journey.
