Lincoln Book Festival 2020 – Online Author Talk – Toby Wilkinson

A World Beneath the Sands: Adventurers and Archaeologists in the Golden Age of Egyptology (Pan Macmillan, 2020)

In this video recorded exclusively for Lincoln Book Festival, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson talks about his new book, A World Beneath the Sands.

The book tells the riveting stories of the men and women whose obsession with Egypt’s ancient civilisation drove them to uncover its secrets.

Professor Toby Wilkinson is Deputy Vice Chancellor at the University of Lincoln and recognised as one of the leading Egyptologists of our time. In 2011, he won the Hessell-Tiltman Prize, awarded to the best work of non-fiction of historical content, for his book The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt: the History of a Civilisation from 3000 BC to Cleopatra.

We hope you enjoy this video by another of our planned guest authors for 2020 – look out for more online author talks coming soon on our website, social media and YouTube channel.
