Author:  Peter Der Manuelian 

In this expansive new biography of George Reisner, Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian examines the life and work of America’s greatest archaeologist. Manuelian presents Reisner’s undeniable impact and considers his life within the context of Western colonialism, racism, and nationalism.Pyramids with hidden burial chambers. Colossal royal statues and minuscule gold jewelry. Decorated tomb chapels, temples, settlements, fortresses, ceramics, furniture, stone vessels, and hieroglyphic inscriptions everywhere. This is the legacy of forty-three years of breathtakingly successful excavations at twenty-three different archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan (ancient Nubia). George Reisner (1867-1942) discovered all this and more during a remarkable career that revolutionized archaeological method in both the Old World and the New. Leading the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition, Reisner put American Egyptology on the world stage.
