Publishers Description: This is the true history and mythology of Tutankhamen. Ninety years ago, Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamens mummy lying, surrounded by grave goods, in a virtually intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Egyptology would never be the same again. "Tutankhamens Curse" approaches the story of the lost king, and his development into a cultural icon, with fresh eyes. Stripping away the layers of modern myths that threaten to obscure the king, it uses the evidence from his tomb to reconstruct a family and a history for Tutankhamen. "Tutankhamens Curse" is designed to appeal to the widest of readerships, from general reader and lovers of history to students of Egyptology and archaeology.
