520 "The ancient Egyptian tomb evolved rapidly over a period
of about 2,500 years, from a simple backfilled pit to an
enormous stone pyramid with complex security arrangements.
Much of this development was arguably driven by the ever-
present threat of tomb robbery, which compelled tomb
builders to introduce special architectural measures to
prevent it. However, until now most scholarly
Egyptological discussions of tomb security have tended to
be brief and usually included only as part of a larger
work, the topic instead being the subject of lurid
speculation and fantasy in novels, the popular press, and
cinema. In Securing Eternity, Reg Clark traces in detail
the development of the Egyptian royal and private tombs
from the Predynastic Period to the early Fourth Dynasty.
In doing so, he demonstrates that many of the familiar
architectural elements of the Egyptian tomb that we take
for granted today in fact originated from security
features to protect the tomb, rather than from monumental
or religious considerations."--|cProvided by publisher.
