Although this book shows its age at times, it is quite well written and certainly very interesting. I have been in the tomb in Egypt and this is a good book to prepare travelers---and yes, for armchair travelers. It doesn't "glorify" the discovery---but gives us the shortcomings of the men involved in this discovery as well as their strengths. Read and enjoy!
