Description

A GIANT AMONG ADVENTURERS AND EXPLORERS Among the noted explorers and adventurers of the great age of discovery; few can compare with the Great Belzoni. No study of the modern exploration of ancient Egypt is complete without his extraordinary work. Once a circus strongman; trained as an engineer; he spent many years on the Nile in Egypt and Nubia studying the ancient ruins and shipping antiquities back to Europe. Though once considered a tomb robber; recent re-evaluations of Belzoni have given him credit for his remarkably keen powers of observation and; for the Victorian period; careful excavation methods and recording. A larger-than-life character; Belzoni was a true adventurer-explorer during a time of nationalist competition between the European powers for the best antiquities. This exciting and detailed account of his two journeys to Egypt and Nubia is a treasure of Egyptology. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.
