The Bog People: Iron-Age Man Preservedby P.V. Glob, Elizabeth Wayland Barber, Paul T. BarberISBN 1590170903 (1-59017-090-3)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bog People: Iron-Age Man Preserved'Book summary:One spring morning two men cutting peat in a Danish bog uncovered a well-preserved body of a man with a noose around his neck. Thinking they had stumbled upon a murder victim, they reported their discovery to the police, who were baffled until they consulted the famous archaeologist P.V. Glob. Glob identified the body as that of a two-thousand-year-old man, ritually murdered and thrown in the bog as a sacrifice to the goddess of fertility.
Written in the guise of a scientific detective story, this classic of archaeological history--a best-seller when it was published in England but out of print for many years--is a thoroughly engrossing and still reliable account of the religion, culture, and daily life of the European Iron Age.
Includes 76 black-and-white photographs. [via]More editions of The Bog People: Iron-Age Man Preserved:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Frozen Girl'Book summary:Over five hundred years ago, there lived a thirteen-year-old Inca girl in the mountains of Peru. Because of her perfect beauty, she was chosen to be the official sacrifice to the god of Mount Ampato. Feasting began days before the actual ceremony and priests gave the girl elaborate costumes to wear. Then the time came for her to be given to the mountain.[via]
Centuries have passed and it is 1990. Hiking on the snowy peak of Mount Ampato, an archeologist and a mountain elimber make an unusual find: charred wood and other signs of ancient human life buried in the frozen ground. Before long, they uncover the mummified body of a young girl, and a scientific inquiry begins.
In this companion book to his award-winning Frozen Man, author David Getz gives young readers an up-close look at the discovery of the Incan mummy. He shows how scientists pieced together clues to the frozen girl's identity, including theories on how and why she was sacrificed. Evocative illustrations from Peter McCarty bring the girl and her culture to life. Photographs of the actual mummy are also included.More editions of Frozen Girl:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mummies of Urumchi'Book summary:The 2000-year-old mummies of Ürümchi, found in central Asia along the famed Silk Road trading route, are so well preserved as to show clearly that they seem to be of Caucasoid origin. Where did these people come from? Where did they go? You can find their pale-skinned, light-haired descendents among the people of the region, but the story of their presence in this forbidding land leaves more mysteries than it answers. Mass migrations during the Bronze Age scattered many peoples across Europe and Asia, and these startlingly lively-looking mummies may help answer some questions about this period of human history. Their intact, fantastically colored and patterned clothing captures much of author Elizabeth Wayland Barber's attention--she is an expert on prehistoric textiles. Her enthusiastic descriptions of the sewing skills of these migrant people, while focusing on details, lend an immediacy to this fascinating tale. Black-and-white as well as color photos, maps, and diagrams illustrate Barber's colorful tale of anthropology. --Therese Littleton [via]

Mummies, Myth and Magic in Ancient Egyptby Christine El MahdyISBN 0500275793 (0-500-27579-3)
Softcover, Thames & Hudson
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mummies, Myth and Magic in Ancient Egypt'Book summary:In this definitive book of the mummy and the Egyptian way of death, Christine El Mahdy reveals how to practice of mummification arose, how it was perfected, and how it came to play a central part in the ancient Egyptian quest for eternal life. In medieval times mummies were crushed to become aphrodisiacs; a hundred years ago the "unwrapping of a mummy from Egypt" was billed as an entertainment; and the twentieth century has created its own superstition in the fabled "Curse of the Pharaohs." Yet the present century has also witnessed the birth of the first truly scientific studies of mummies, culminating in the major projects currently under way all round the world.
"Mummies, Myth and Magic" gives for the first time a full account of the work in progress in Europe and the United States to discover from mummies how the ancient Egyptians lived - what they ate, the illnesses they suffered from, the medical techniques available to help them and how they died. Controversial issues such as the rehydrating of tissues and the attempt to clone cells from long-dead pharaohs are also addressed. Featuring specially commissioned diagrams of tombs and royal burial chambers, and a Factfile listing mummies held by major international museums and institutions, this is the most comprehensive volume yet produced on an eternally fascinating subject.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Tomb of Tutankhamen'Book summary:Introduction by Anthony Brandt.
" Feverishly we cleared away...the passage before the doorway, until we had only the clean sealed doorway before us.... We made a tiny breach in the top left hand corner to see what was beyond.
There was naturally short suspense for those present who could not see, when Lord Carnarvon said to me ' Can you see anything, ' I replied to him ' Yes, it is wonderful' .... Our sensations and astonishment are difficult to describe as the better light revealed to us the marvellous collection of treasures: two strange ebony-black effigies of a King, gold sandalled, bearing staff and mace, loomed out from the cloak of darkness; gilded couches in strange forms, lion-headed, Hathor-headed, and beast infernal...strange black shrines with a gilded monster snake appearing from within...a golden inlaid throne.... Our sensations were bewildering and full of strange emotion. Was it a tomb or merely a cache? A sealed doorway between the two sentinel statues proved there was more beyond and with the numerous cartouches bearing the name of Tutankhamen...there was little doubt that there behind was the grave of that Pharaoh."
Howard Carter did not live long enough to write further about his finds, and "The Tomb of Tutankhamen stands as his only record of the extraordinary discovery. Abridged from the original three volumes, this "National Geographic Adventure Classics edition features 25 black-and-white photos taken at the time of the excavation, as well as a map of the Valley of the Kings and the tomb. This classic adventure tells the story of a journey that may never be repeated--a trip back through 3,000 years to discover the life--anddeath--of a pharaoh. [via]

Valley of the Golden Mummiesby Zahi HawassISBN 0810939428 (0-8109-3942-8)
Hardcover, Abrams , Incorporated, Harry N.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Valley of the Golden Mummies'Book summary:In the winter of 1996, a guard at the temple of Alexander the Great near Bahariya, Egypt, reported an astounding discovery: during a routine patrol, he had been startled when the donkey he had been riding fell into a hole. Helping the donkey out of its predicament, the guard saw that the hole was in fact an opening into a tomb--and one from which a mummy's golden face peered.
Zahi Hawass, the director general of the Giza Pyramid complex and a leading Egyptian archaeologist, hurried to the site, which turned up more and more of those golden-masked corpses--105 in the first year of excavation alone, the largest number of mummies yet discovered at a single Egyptian site. Hawass's book describes the site and its contents, which offer material evidence of daily life at the Bahariya Oasis during the 25th and 26th dynasties, a time about which little is now known. Gaps in the historical record are quickly being filled, however, thanks to Hawass's ongoing findings, only a fraction of which are reported in his book. He guesses that the Valley of the Golden Mummies may eventually yield more than 10,000 perfectly preserved corpses and a wealth of information about their time.
The richly illustrated text also provides a detailed account of the work of modern Egyptologists, who accord their subjects a respect not often shown by earlier generations of field workers; as Hawass remarks, "We always treat a mummy as if it were still a person, just as we would hope to be treated ourselves in similar circumstances." It's an altogether fascinating excursion into long-ago times. --Gregory McNamee [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'El Egiptologo/the Scientist of Egypt'Book summary:Cuando en los años veinte Howard Carter descubre la tumba de Tutankamon, el más asombroso hallazgo de la historia de la arquelogía, el egiptólogo Ralph Trilipush se juega su reputación profesional y la fortuna de su prometida en su obsesión por encontrar el enterramiento de un faraón apócrifo basándose en un jeroglífico pornográfico. Mientras, un implacable detective australiano llamado Harold Ferrell se enfrenta al caso de su carrera y recorre el globo en busca de un asesino. Y de otro. Y probablemente de otro más. Esta inquietante, divertida, y laberíntica novela se inicia en las llanuras del desierto egipcio en 1922 y serpentea por los tugurios de Australia o los salones de baile de Boston, pasando por Oxford o los campos de batalla de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Y su mejor baza es que las dos tramas principales, aparentemente inconexas y rebosantes de intriga, confluyen en un final tan inevitable como sorprendente. [via]
