Thebes, Its Tombs And Their Tenants Ancient And Present: Including A Record Of Excavations In The Necropolis (Cambridge Library Collection - Egyptology)

Alexander Henry Rhind (1833-63) devoted his short life to antiquarianism. Developing tubercular symptoms, he passed the winters of 1855-7 in Egypt, where he made the studies recorded in this 1862 book. His account covers both archaeological discoveries and the reuse of the Theban necropolis as homes for modern Egyptians.
