Synopsis: From the publisher's website Description: Unearthed resurrects eleven classic tales of the mummy, selected by John J. Johnston (Egypt Exploration Society) and Jared Shurin. These stories date back to the middle of the 19th century, and several have not been republished for almost two hundred years. They have all been carefully edited and reformatted to accurately represent their original publication quality. Unearthed comes complete with a lengthy introduction from John J. Johnston, outlining the mummy's presence in literature and pop culture, from the monster's first appearance in print to its latest on screen. The companion volume to The Book of the Dead, Unearthed is published in partnership with Egypt Exploration Society, the UK's oldest independent funder of archaeological fieldwork and research in Egypt, dedicated to the promotion and understanding of ancient Egyptian history and culture.
