Toby Wilkinson walks through the beginnings of archaeology in Egypt, the struggles, and the men and women who were instrumental in its creation.
Throughout different countries, there were some who came to travel through the sands, and during those journeys, there were some great discoveries that were made. The struggles for control over the dig sites, the artifacts, and stopping the flow of stolen artifacts out of the country plagued the leaders from the start - and it would only get worse as Egyptomania grew.

I loved this read! It was well done, and full of fabulous information! I look forward to more from this author.
