The energy devoted by the ancient Egyptians to their tombs is legendary. The pyramids of Gizeh and the tomb of Tutankhamun are just two very spectacular examples, but no previous book has sought to use the tens of thousands of tombs excavated in Egypt, dating from 5000 BC to AD 200, across all classes of society, to build up a broad picture of burial as practised across the millennia. In this fascinating treatment, Wolfram Grajetzki sets out to remove some widespread misconceptions. Many imagine that few tombs survived undisturbed into modern times, but this is simply not true. In addition to the richest finds, there are numerous other tombs, devoid of gold and precious objects, which are key sources for reconstructing burial customs and Eygptian culture as a whole. This book sets the record straight, presenting evidence from each of the periods covered of poorer and average graves alongside the more famous wealthy tombs. The book is accessibly written, complete with over 150 illustrations, many specially prepared by the author.… (mere)

La energía que los antiguos egipcios dedicaron a sus tumbas es legendaria. Las pirámides de Gizeh y la tumba de Tutankamón son solo dos ejemplos muy espectaculares, pero ningún libro anterior ha intentado utilizar las decenas de miles de tumbas excavadas en Egipto, que datan de 5000 aC a 200 dC, en todas las clases de la sociedad, para construir una amplia imagen del entierro como se practica a través de los milenios. En este tratamiento fascinante, Wolfram Grajetzki se propone eliminar algunos conceptos erróneos generalizados. Muchos imaginan que pocas tumbas sobrevivieron sin interrupción a los tiempos modernos, pero esto simplemente no es cierto. Además de los hallazgos más ricos, existen numerosas otras tumbas, desprovistas de oro y objetos preciosos, que son fuentes clave para reconstruir las costumbres funerarias y la cultura eypática en su conjunto. Este libro lo aclara, presentando evidencia de cada uno de los períodos cubiertos de fosas más pobres y promedio junto a las tumbas más famosas y ricas. El libro es accesible y está ricamente ilustrado con más de 150 ilustraciones, muchas de ellas especialmente preparadas por el autor. ( )
