Written in a somewhat antiquated style, this book discusses one of the most fascinating archaeological events in history. Egyptology holds a very special place in my heart, so I found this book to be riveting most of the time. It's not a particularly long read, but it wasn't missing much in terms of rich detail, and the writing style and vocabulary transported me to the early 1920's. I truly enjoyed this important (to me) story, and am grateful to the author for compiling the information.
