'Impeccably researched and beautifully written' David Wengrow
'Utterly original' Paul Strathern When it was found in 1922, the
3,300-year old tomb of Tutankhamun sent shockwaves around the
world, turning the boy-king into a household name overnight and
kickstarting an international media obsession that endures to this
day. From pop culture and politics to tourism and heritage, and
from the Jazz Age to the climate crisis, it's impossible to imagine
the twentieth century without the discovery of Tutankhamun - yet so
much of the story remains untold. Here, for the first time,
Christina Riggs weaves compelling historical analysis with tales of
lives touched by an encounter with Tutankhamun, including her own.
Treasured offers a bold new history of the young pharaoh who has as
much to tell us about our world as his own. 'Searching, masterful
and eloquent' James Delbourgo
