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.
