Both born to power and wealth, and raised by courtiers, they lived
lives of aristocrats and landowners, in poor health and with
uncertain futures. Though they lived over 3000 years apart, the
lives of Egyptian King Tutankhamun and the fifth Lord Carnarvon
share many parallels, not the least of which was Carnarvon's
sponsorship of the team that found the pharaoh's tomb in the Valley
of the Kings. Brian Fagan's narrative expertly weaves these two
lives together, showing similarities and differences between these
two powerful men. -Both figures are placed in their historical
context, showing the political and social machinations of 18th
Dynasty Egypt and 20th century archaeological exploration in
Egypt.-Grounded in historical and archaeological research, the two
figures are made to come alive as real people.-An Afterword by the
author shows archaeologists how to tell research stories that are
accessible to a wider audience.
