Journal of Emily Sands 1926 - æWhile much of Ancient Egypt now stands uncovered it is certain that her distant sands still hide many wonderful things awaiting only those who have the courage and determination to find them.Æ A stunning book with lift-up flaps and other exciting surprises.

Who can resist the allure of ancient Egypt--and the thrill of uncovering mysteries that have lain hidden for thousands of years? Not the feisty Miss Emily Sands who in 1926 four years after the discovery of King Tut`s tomb led an expedition up the Nile in search of the tomb of the god Osiris. Alas Miss Sands and crew soon vanished into the desert never to be seen again. But luckily her keen observations live on in the form of a lovingly kept journal full of drawings photographs booklets foldout maps postcards and many other intriguing samples. Here are just a few of Egyptology`s special features:
