Description

The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb is one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century. This book tells the story of Howard Carter's excavation, using his original records from the archives of the Griffith Institute at the University of Oxford. The meticulous recording process and conservation work on the thousands of objects took Carter and his team an astonishing 10 years to complete. The book also explores the phenomenon of 'Tut-mania', when the world was gripped by all things Tutankhamun, from jewelry and clothing to dance music and curses. A valuable resource for those interested in the preservation of Tutankhamun's tomb and its contents, this book provides a unique insight into the life and times of Egypt's 'boy king'.
