Explaining Tutankhamun’s background and the role of the Pharaoh, "The Treasures of Tutankhamun" shows how Egypt became a source of fascination for those in the West. Using photographs, drawings and diagrams from the original expedition, it brings to life the excitement and wonderment that Carter and Carnarvon must have felt upon opening the tomb. It also describes the painstaking efforts that were taken as they and their team slowly investigated the wealth of objects that had lain hidden for centuries. It also addresses its impact on the study of Egyptology and the more far-reaching effe

Certain artists define an era. Elvis Presley. The Beatles. The Sex Pistols. For the end of the millennium, it was Nirvana, the mega-talented grunge rockers who exploded out of Seattle in the late 1980s. Under the incandescent leadership of Kurt Cobain, the band achieved worldwide fame with the 1991 release of Nevermind and its iconic single, Smells Like Teen Spirit. Though the band released just one more album before Cobain’s demons drove him to suicide, Nirvana remains an enduring influence. Now, through interviews with those close to the band, coupled with intensive archival resear

As he did in "Secrets of the Lost Races", Rene Noorbergen probes the most recent archaeological finds to piece together the clues to the lost history of the earth in this, his latest book, "Treasures of the Lost Races." A well known journalist and book author, Noorbergen is one of the few chroniclers of past civilizations who approaches with an open mind the existence of out-of-place artifacts (OOPARTS)--baffling relics that appear unexpectedly among ruins miles away from the civilization that produced them--with startling results.
