| Synopsis: |
I.E.S. Edwards was born just before World War I and his life spanned over 80 years of Egyptological research. His classic work, "The Pyramids of Egypt", was first published in 1947, and is still in print and in demand. As keeper of Egyptology at the British Museum he organized the successful Tutankhamun exhibition in 1972. It attracted over 1.5 million people and his guide to the exhibition sold over 300,000 copies in Britain alone. One of his major projects was the salvage of the temples of Philae. During a life lived at the centre of Egyptology, he was involved in many of the greatest controversies and discoveries of this never-dull subject. These memoirs form a fascinating record of a century of research. |
