The most up-to-date account of the boy king's life, from the discovery of the tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter to the latest CT-scanning, X-raying, and DNA studies. By the world-renowned Egyptologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, Zahi Hawass, who lead the first DNA analysis of royal mummies in 2010.
Zahi Hawass is one of the world's best known Egyptologists, and a former Egyptian minister of state for antiquities. He is the author of many books on ancient Egypt, including several on Tutankhamun.
“Egypt’s former minister of antiquities has written many popular
books on Tutankhamun, but this one contains the perfect balance of
up-to-date research and beautiful photography. It includes stories
about Hawass’s own experiences investigating Tutankhamun.”—Garry
Shaw, The Art Newspaper
“The forte of this book, besides its illustrations, is the
additional material it contains about other excavations and the
scientific processes carried out to determine Tutankhamun’s
familial relations … written in a very readable style”—Gill Woods,
Thames Valley ancient Egypt Society Newsletter
