El Kab

"El Kab" by James Edward Quibell is an account of archaeological explorations at an ancient Egyptian site, focusing on uncovering the secrets of its tombs and burial customs. Driven by Mr. Somers Clarke’s fascination, excavations began in El Kab to explore its historical context and cultural importance through a detailed look at the burial sites. The narrative captures what it was like to undertake archaeological work, from making living spaces out of rock tombs to relying on the help of others. Quibell gives a well-organized account of the insights and discoveries related to ancient burial practices.
