Giovanni Belzoni was an engineer, amateur archaeologist, and explorer commissioned by British Consul General Henry Salt to bring antiquities to England. He was known to be the first European to enter tombs and temples such as the Temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel. In 1819, he returned to England and prepared this publication, which was received with great popular interest.
