Where are the tombs of Alexander the Great or Cleopatra? Both rulers were buried in Egypt, but their tombs have never been found despite years of intensive research & excavation. Yet we have tantalizing clues. Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt describes the quest for these & other great `missing` tombs
- those we know existed, but which have not yet been identified. It also discusses key moments of discovery that have yielded astonishing finds & created the archetypal image of the archaeologist poised at the threshold of a tomb left untouched for millennia. In this gripping account, Chris Naunton explains the mysteries of the missing tombs & presents all the evidence, skilfully unravelling the tangled threads surrounding the burials of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten & his son Tutankhamun, & the burial place of Imhotep, architect of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, among others. Could other such tombs lie undiscovered in the Valley of the Kings? In fact, the Valley almost certainly does guard hidden treasures. Amazing finds of unsuspected tombs continue to occur there & elsewhere in Egypt, making headlines worldwide
- all are covered in this book. As well as immersing the reader, step by step, in the action of the search & the thrill of discovery, the book also explores the reasons why tombs remain such a central part of both the popular perception of Egyptology & the continuing allure of ancient Egypt.

Lighthouses are striking totems of our relationship to the sea. For many, they encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves, but their original purpose was much more utilitarian than that. Today we still depend upon their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain & Ireland which form a ring of twenty towers built between 1811 & 1904, so-called because they were constructed on desolate rock formations in the middle of the sea, & made from granite to withstand the power of its waves. Seashaken Houses is a lyrical exploration of these singular towers, the people who risked their lives building & rebuilding them, those that inhabited their circular rooms, & the ways in which we value emblems of our history in a changing world. ...
