The Complete Valley of the Kings by Nicholas Reeves and Richard Wilkinson discusses the tombs and treasures of Egypt's greatest pharaohs. Over 80 tombs (including the tomb of King Tut) were dug in the Valley of the Kings over 3000 years ago. The book examines how preparations were made for the afterlife, how the tombs were discovered (often multiple times), and how graverobbers took their toll. I highly recommend this book.

Over 500 illustrations (many archival/historical photos), including 76 in color. This book brings the Valley of the Kings to life. Ages 11-Adult (though younger children couldn't read it, they would appreciate the photographs if they are interested in Ancient Egypt).
