Land of the Nile and the pharaohs, of the pyramids and the Sphinx, of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt is also the land that brought to light men who gave themselves body and soul to bring the past back to life. Stubborn and passionate, they wore out their health so that forgotten Egypt would resurface from the sands. Many books show us ancient Egypt and the beauty of its art. But who, better than the discoverers themselves, the journalists of the time, the writers, the travelers, the poets—in a word, those who were there—can recount these human adventures with such enthusiasm? For the first time, here are the actors of these fabulous discoveries who tell us about these moments when the history of Egypt finds light again, illustrated with often unpublished period documents.
