Complete Tutankhamun

The tomb of Tutankhamun, with its treasures, has exerted a hold over the popular imagination ever since its discovery in 1922. This book is a detailed and comprehensive account of this great archaeological discovery. The story of the boy-king, buried in splendour at the height of Egyptian civilization; the determined quest for his tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon; the unforeseen riches eventually revealed – these are important events in the history of archaeology. However, despite the publicity at the time of the discovery and since – made more intriguing by the linking of Carnarvon`s early death with the legend of the pharoah`s curse – it remains a story only partly told. Carter never produced a complete account of his excavations. The Tutankhamun exhibitions of the 1960`s and 1970`s generated a spate of books but none added significantly to what Carter had already published about the tomb. This book is a revealing account of the subject.
