This English-language edition, which appeared at the end of 2007, is something more than just a translation of Alain Zivie’s Les Tombeaux retrouvés de Saqqara, published in 2003. The text of this edition in fact unveils the most recent discoveries by the French Egyptologist, continuing those which had already brought to light a remarkable group of tombs dating to the reigns of the greatest pharaohs of the New Kingdom: the vizier ‘Aper-El and his family, including the generalissimo Huy, along with their burial treasure; the master painter Thothmes; the lady Maïa, foster mother of Tutankhamun; the ambassador and peace maker Parikhnawa, a high official of Ramesses II. There are two new photographs by Patrick Chapuis in this edition, which also includes previously unpublished illustrations (tomb plans, reproductions of recently discovered reliefs...).
