Summary of Peter Hessler's The Buried
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 On January 26, 2011, there were no demonstrations in Abydos, and the police had no problems dealing with the archaeologists. The artifacts were not especially valuable, but their context was valuable.
#2 In Abydos, Egypt, the team from Brown University had already returned home, and another group of archaeologists had arrived from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. They were restoring parts of the Shunet al-Zebib, or the Shuna, as the structure is usually called.
#3 The archaeologists had to evacuate the Buried. The dig house employed private guards, who typically called the authorities if there was a serious problem, but now the police didn't respond. The looters arrived and confronted the guards, warning them that they would be killed if they didn't abandon the site.
#4 The Buried is the first step into the vast emptiness of the desert. It is located near the mouth of a wadi, or canyon, that winds up to the North African plateau. The first line of kings who unified Egypt built their tombs here.
