TUTANKHAMUN: 100 years after the discovery of his tomb leading Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley unpicks the misunderstandings around the boy king’s life,…by Joyce Tyldesley
A century ago, archaeologists in the Valley of the Kings uncovered the nearly intact tomb of Tutankhamun—an ancient mummy surrounded by dazzling treasures. The discovery sparked global excitement and tales of a deadly curse, overshadowing the real story.
Tutankhamun: Pharaoh, Icon, Enigma reexamines the legend through ten diverse perspectives—from the young pharaoh and his family to embalmers, explorers, and overlooked Egyptian archaeologists. Spanning from ancient Thebes in 1336 BCE to the 1922 tomb discovery in Luxor, the book explores the truth behind the myth.
Through new insights and three millennia of evidence, this compelling study reveals how Tutankhamun truly wished to be remembered.
