Summary:

"Depuis l'Antiquité, nombre d'artistes, de savants, d'aventuriers, d'archéologues et d'écrivains ont parcouru l'Egypte, contribuant par les objets, images, textes qu'ils en ont rapportés à la redécouverte de son passé prestigieux. Si Jean-François Champollion, en parvenant à déchiffrer les hiéroglyphes, devint le plus illustre de ces passionnés, bien d'autres ont eu un rôle historique, tels Auguste Mariette, protecteur des antiquités égyptiennes et fondateur du musée du Caire, David Roberts, peintre de paysages aquarellés aussi splendides que précis. Howard Carter qui découvrit les trésors enfouis avec Toutankhamon, ou encore Jean-Yves Empereur qui entreprit récemment de spectaculaires fouilles sous-marines dans le port d'Alexandrie. Cet ouvrage propose de remonter le cours du Nil du nord au sud, du Delta à la Nubie, en passant par Le Caire, Karnak, la Vallée des Rois ou Abou Simbel, dans le sillage de ces hommes et de ces femmes qui ont exploré, dessiné, photographié les richesses d'une Egypte décidémment incontournable."--P. 4 of cover.
