Examining Egypt

The Great Belzoni

Giovanni Belzoni, an Italian circus strong man, logged a narrative of his travels through Egypt exploring and competing with French agents to collect antiquities for the British government. His work is illustrative of the early character of Egyptology and the study of ancient objects.
