Publisher's Synopsis
The tombs at Beni Hassan have recently been re-excavated and re-recorded by the Australian Centre for Egyptology, and the present work represents an in-depth analysis of the history and life of one of the most powerful nomarchic families of the Middle Kingdom, based on the most up-to-date information obtained from these excavations, as well as on personal and detailed examination of the site. The book is richly illustrated with drawing and photographs, many of which are published here for the first time.
