Sommario/riassunto |
|
Flinders Petrie has been called the "Father of Modern Egyptology" and was one of the pioneers of modern archaeology. Here Drower, a student of his in the 1930s, traces his life from his boyhood, when he was already a budding scholar, to his stunning career in the deserts of Egypt. |
