A fully updated and revised edition of a classic bestseller: the
definitive guide to Tutankhamun and his tomb - what it contained,
why, and what it means today. On 4 November 1922, Lord Carnarvon
and Howard Carter's long search in Egypt's Valley of the Kings drew
to a triumphant close: Tutankhamun's tomb had been found. As news
of the discovery spread, and as images of the breathtaking
treasures began to circulate, this once-obscure pharaoh would
capture the imagination of the entire world. A hundred years on,
and both the fascination and the drama continue. Scientific
research has pushed forward, and the results have been impressive:
the tomb's ground-plan and setting are now fully remapped;
CT-scanning and aDNA have begun to shed their unique light on
Tutankhamun in life and in death; super-accurate recordings have
been secured of the Burial Chamber's decorated walls; and we
possess at last high-quality photography of Pharaoh's possessions.
Our access to Carnarvon and Carter's extraordinary find is greater
today than it has ever been, and from this fuller evidence comes
one new realization among many - that both the tomb and its
treasures had been intended for someone else. In this new edition
of his landmark book Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves revisits
Tutankhamun in the context of his time, the excavators in the
context of theirs, and every aspect, old and new, of the tomb's
discovery, archaeology, architecture and art. If what was
discovered in 1922 had the ability to amaze, then what has been
discovered since will simply astonish.
