VG-/VG (bumping & creasing to some corners. area of slight staining to back upper corner & edge area w/ some remnants to spine edge; does not appear to affect interior pgs. splitting to opening section of textblock; glue still holding. dustjacket spine sunned; scuffs & scratches.). golden-rod cloth w/ black spine printing. 248 pgs w/ bw & color illustrations. glossy tan & blue illustrated dustjacket w/ brown printing. "At the center of the world-famous pyramid field of the Memphite necropolis there lies a group of pyramids, temples, and tombs named after the nearby village of Abusir. Long overshadowed by the more familiar pyramids at Giza and Saqqara, this area has nonetheless been the site, for the last forty years, of an extensive operation to discover its past. This exciting new book-richly endowed with black-and-white historical photographs, color plates of contemporary work, and informative illustrations-at last documents the uncovering by a dedicated team of Czech archaeologists of a hitherto neglected wealth of ancient remains dating from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. This is Abusir, realm of Osiris, God of the dead, and its story is one of both modern archaeology and the long-buried mysteries that it seeks to uncover."--Amazon.
