  • Beautiful book! I can't believe I received it at such a great price from the WONDERBOOK sellers (I bought it in 2016). This book is HUGE and filled with lovely colored photos. They packed it well enough for its long travel to my home; and it arrived in very good condition.

    I am really happy with my book and I look forward to ordering from WonderBook in the future!

  • Beautiful book - Thanks!

  • This book not only shows the items in the show, but also discusses various ideas such as the facial similarities of successive kings, and lineageal abnormalities and deformities, subtly shown in the statues and tomb paintings. How many kings had buck teeth and bum legs? A fascinating reading and I really appreciated the extra observations I never noticed. Great reading!

  • Well done highlight of an exhibit that easily equals the Tut exhibit.

    Photos are gorgeous and text is just enough without bogging you down in details.

  • The Quest for Immortality now at the National Gallery in Washington, DC is an eye-popping collection of famous items and unseen wonders from Cairo's Egyptian Museum. With the images fresh in your mind of the originals use the catalog articles to expand your knowledge of Queen Ahhotep and her jewels or the beauty of Nakhtmin's wife.
    Don't miss my favorites the charming Ptolemaic bronze cat votive and the lapis lazuli Goddess Maat from the Third Intermediate Period.

  • This exhibition catalog is beautifully illustrated, with many of the photographs extremely clear and all of very high quality. Most inscriptions are readable; larger objects are not just shown whole, but also in detail. It is a pleasure to see some many objects from Tanis included - King Tut has been over-exposed and the Tanis objects are less well-known.
    The introductory essays provide useful background information; the catalog item descriptions are useful but of varying depth.
