This landmark 1834 work was an important early contribution to the field of Egyptology, uniting the twin passions of the surgeon and antiquarian Thomas Joseph Pettigrew (1791-1865). Here he delves into the history, technique and ritual of mummification in a depth that had never been attempted before.
