Synopsis
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., The ultimate book on King Tut and his tomb--the most exciting archaeological find the world has ever known.

This brilliantly illustrated volume takes the reader through Tutankhamun's tomb room-by-room in the order that it was discovered and excavated by Howard Carter. Carefully selected objects are used to illustrate the entire ten years of painstaking excavation and documentation carried out by Howard Carter and his team. Following the chambers of the tomb in the order in which Carter excavated them, it displays the site's most magnificent artifacts, including all of the objects in current Tutankhamun exhibitions. Dr Zahi Hawass imbues the text with his own inimitable flavour, imagining how the uncovering and opening of the tomb must have felt for Carter, while Sandro Vannini's extraordinary images allow the objects from the tomb to be seen in even more detail than is possible with the naked eye, in stunning full-colour spreads and foldouts throughout the book. This is the definitive record of Tutankhamun's glittering legacy.
