Forgotten Tombs. Secrets of the Ancient Egyptian Necropolis

For more than a quarter of a century, the renowned necropolis at the foot of the Great Pyramids of Giza has seen the ongoing work of the Russian archaeological expedition. Over the years, our compatriots have made numerous astonishing discoveries... that allow for a new perspective on the world in which the Egyptians of the pharaonic era lived. The authors, who have dedicated many years to these excavations, invite the reader on an exciting and adventurous journey from the Tomb of Chisel, where Russian scholars began their work in Giza, through underground chambers filled with disemboweled mummies, to the lost burials of the Ancient Kingdom. Why are botanists and geophysicists increasingly included in archaeological expeditions? Does the so-called 'mummy's curse' truly exist? What is hidden in the embalmer's sanctuaries? And how, in the end, were the majestic pyramids constructed? The answers to these and many other questions will be obtained directly from the archaeologists who study the civilization of the pharaohs and their FORGOTTEN TOMBS.
