About the Book
Two Hundred Years in the Life of the Tomb of Seti I
The architecture and decoration of the Tomb of Seti I (1306 to 1290 BC) are considered the pinnacle of New Kingdom tomb art. In 2016 the Theban Necropolis Preservation Initiative, in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, embarked on a comprehensive digital recording project to document the tomb’s walls using non-invasive, high-resolution technology. The Ministry recognised the potential of this approach for preservation and future exhibitions and entrusted the TNPI with the task of providing accurate digital data to safeguard a record of the tomb. These non-invasive technologies enable an accurate reproduction to be created without ever touching the original surface. Using Giovanni Belzoni’s 1817 watercolours and Harry Burton’s 1920s photographs, plus recent high-quality recorded data, it becomes possible to physically recreate the tomb as a facsimile. This book describes and illustrates the project as it progressed over several painstaking years. Paperback. 60 pages. New condition. Cat No N138
