Tutankhamun has mesmerized the world ever since Howard
Carter''s dramatic discovery of his treasure-filled tomb in the
Valley of the Kings in 1922, a fascination fanned anew by the
current world tour of the spectacular artifacts buried with him, a
priceless trove that casts a spell on everyone who sees them.
In this richly illustrated book, Egypt''s leading archaeologist
chronicles the Boy King and the royal dynasty that bred him. And
what a dynasty! Tut''s grandfather, the Sun King Amenhotep III,
married queen Tiye before they reached their teens, then ruled for
40 years. Their heretical son, Akhenaten, abandoned Egypt''s
pantheon to worship a single god; his wife Nefertiti is still
remembered as one of history''s legendary beauties. Tutankhamun
ascended the throne as a child and died before the age of twenty,
but the splendor of his brief reign and the sensational unearthing
of his tomb have made him the most famous of all the
pharaohs.
Zahi Hawass brings these fabled figures and their tumultuous,
astonishing age to life, with an authoritative text highlighted by
scores of stunning photographs, including archival images from the
first great era of Egyptian archaeology, when Carter and other
Westerners reawakened the world to the golden glory of the ancient
civilization explored in this dazzling book.
