Illustrated by almost 1000 color photographs, drawings, and plans, it presents research on a group of tombs discovered in 2003-2007. These are situated north of the causeway of Unas, where excavations have unearthed more than 3000 years of human occupation from the times of the pyramids to the Arab Conquest.
