Produced on the occasion of a major exhibition at the de Young Museum and conceived as a standalone volume, this publication is among the most significant works on the art and culture of Ancient Egypt currently available. Edited by renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, it brings together over 130 masterpieces—many previously unpublished or rarely exhibited—on loan from Egypt’s leading museums and archaeological sites.
The exhibition catalogue unfolds through a rich series of essays and in-depth studies exploring key themes of Pharaonic civilization: sacred kingship, the relationship with the divine, funerary aesthetics, monumental sculpture, daily life, the role of women, and Egypt’s dialogue with the Mediterranean world.
A defining feature of the volume is the photography by Massimo Listri, celebrated for his architectural and cultural heritage work. Printed in a large-format edition, Treasures of the Pharaohs combines scholarly rigor with striking visual impact.
