Customer Reviews

I LOVE THE BOOK

I was actually watching a T.V. show called Sightings it showed the Black and White pictures of Egypt and I just had to have it. The book has stunning pictures. It is a must BUY.

Fascinating, whether you've seen these places or not!

This book is just what it says--Aerial photographs of various monuments of ancient Egypt. I found it extremely satisfying. I visited Egypt about 18 months ago, and was in many of these same places--The opportunity to see them from a different vantage point was enjoyable. I love the book, though I wish the photos were in color rather than in black and white. I realize that there are probably technical reasons why b & w gets a clearer image, and is more economical, but I still regret color's absence....
