Book description
Pharaohs Flowers the Botanical Treasures of Tutankhamun by F. Nigel Hepper was published when I was at the peak of my fascination with Tutankhamen and more broadly the Eighteenth Dynasty but somehow I completely missed this book during my frenzy of reading and book collecting.Now as a kid I had certainly heard of King Tut (who hasnt?) and even knew an old novelty song that dates to the time when his tomb was first discovered by Howard Carter. Beyond that I didnt know much until I took AP Art History as a Junior. When the teacher first put the slide up of Tutankhamens mummy I recoiled. Hes such an important figure in history that I would be spending the next couple of weeks seeing that photograph.I had to get over my visceral reaction. To do that I checked out every single book my then local library had on him. Somewhere along the way I went from squeamish to fan-girl. No longer satisfied by what was on offer at the local library I convinced my grandmother to take me down to Hillcrest where the best used book stores in San Diego are. I started collecting by getting Dover imprints of classic volumes of Egyptology and then a later edition Howard Carters account of the work at the site. In the end I amassed about two dozen books which I read cover to cover two or three times each. Beyond that I also read another dozen or so books first from my local library, my school library and later my college library. And yet with all that reading I missed F. Nigel Heppers book.Heppers taken an approach to cataloguing Tutankhamens treasures in a way I havent seen before. He talks exclusively of what can be learned about the flora of Egypt from the plant materials entombed with him and the plants and flowers depicted in the artworks. Not being a botanist I found some of the more technical aspects of the book over my head but it was still a fascinating and novel approach to a subject Ive read so much about.Included with Heppers analysis of the flora are many excellent photographs and illustrations. Of course many of the photographs are ones that show up in most of the Tutankhamen books but his captions are completely different than the typical descriptions that go with the photographs.
