With the discovery of Carbon 14 dating in the 19th century, prehistory was brought to life and fixed dates for objects from the most ancient past became a reality. Accompanying a TV series, this book tells the story of the major discoveries of the past and the methods used in their recovery.

More than 3,000 years ago a village was established at Thebes on the banks of the Nile. It housed the workers who created the tombs of the Pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. Stonemasons, painters, sculptors, quarrymen and scribes lived with their wives and children in the village, and worked closely together. Romer has recreated the villagers lives in intimate detail. He tells us of their quarrels and rivalries, sickness and health, marriages and deaths, of the effects of flood, pillage and war. Romer traces the fortunes of the villagers from the great days of Ramesses II through the slow decline of the Egyptian empire. A fascinating account of the day-to-day lives and thoughts of ordinary people who created some of ancient Egypt s finest treasures. Illus.

The classic historical account of one of the world's richest archeological sites. For more than five hundred years, until about 1000 BC, the Valley of the Kings held a busy community of tomb workers, the limestone landscape was white with the debris of fresh excavation, and all the known pharaohs of the Egyptian New Kingdom lay in their great stone sarcophagi. The Valley itself was then lost from the historical records for hundreds of years. Valley of the Kings, John Romer's first book originally published in 1981, tells two fascinating stories. The first is about the tombs of the ancient Egyptian kings, queens and nobles who were buried with pomp and extravagance between 1570 and 1085 BC. The second, equally compelling, is the story of the archeologists and their hunt for the past.
