註釋Down-sized (8.5x11) reprint of classic 1910 folio edition, with new critical introduction & 81-entry annotated bibliography by C. Nicholas Reeves, plus 5 photos not published in original. Recounts 1907 discovery & initial analysis of controversial Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt, first thought to be reburial of Queen Tiyi of the 18th Dynasty, now beleived by many Egyptologists as last resting place of heretic pharaoh Akhenaten. Dr Reeves's introduction traces archaeological reassessment of KV55 & its water-damaged funerary equipment from 1907 thru 1990, & the attempts to identify this problematical royal cache's mysterious occupant, a coffined skeletal mummy thought variously to be the remains of Queen Tiyi, of Akhenaten's short-lived successor, Smenkhkare, & of the "criminal" king himself.
