About the author

Sometimes known as The Great Belzoni, was a prolific Italian explorer of Egyptian antiquities.

Once a circus strongman he was sent by Henry Salt, the British consul to Egypt, to the Ramesseum at Thebes, from where he removed with great skill the colossal bust of Ramesses II, commonly called "the Young Memnon". Shipped by Belzoni to England, this piece is still on prominent display at the British Museum.
