The ultimate book on King Tut and his tomb--the most exciting
archaeological find the world has ever known.
The fabulous treasures of Tutankhamun have fascinated the public
since their discovery by Howard Carter in 1922. Many books have
been written about the boy king and his tomb, but this volume by
world-renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass provides the reader with a
unique perspective on this extraordinary archaeological find.
Images by pioneering photographer Sandro Vannini offer distinctive
views of almost 200 of the spectacular artifacts found at the
burial site.
"King Tutankhamun" uses carefully selected objects to illustrate
the entire ten years of painstaking excavation and documentation
carried out by Carter and his team. Organized to follow the
chambers of the tomb in the order in which they were excavated, it
illuminates the site's most magnificent artifacts.
An experienced field archaeologist who has made many important
discoveries himself, Dr. Hawass imbues the text with his own unique
voice, imagining how exploration of the tomb must have felt for
Carter and providing invaluable information about the objects.
Sandro Vannini's photographs are extraordinary as well, allowing
the objects to be seen in even more detail than is possible with
the naked eye. 324 color illustrations, including 26 foldouts.
