Description
"In 1922, when Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen, much of what was then known about mummies came from the writing of Greek historian Herodotus and from the paintings on the walls of Egyptian tombs. Even before 1922, the mummy had been the subject of fiction (in the hands of such as Bram Stoker and Arthur Conan Doyle) and films (back to 1900).". "Beginning with a discussion of religious, social and scientific aspects of mummies (largely Egyptian, but including other kinds), the authors present a detailed examination, book by book, film by film, of how mummies are portrayed in fiction and in the movies."--BOOK JACKET.
