HANDY AND USEFUL GUIDE TO FUNERARY ARCHAEOLOGY OF EGYPT

This nice book of Dr. Spencer is a very useful guide to the funerary customs and the general archaeology of ancient Egypt. In a certain sense, it is the perfect replacement for the much out-dated Wallis Budge's "The Mummy", so that this title comes to fill a gap: a handy, up-dated and concise treatise on all what you must know about the mortuary realm and the archaeology of the ancient Egytians. A MUST FOR NEWCOMERS!
