Description

Tutankhamun's Trumpet: A Unique Portrait of Ancient Egypt The treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb have been revealed in a new and fascinating way. Instead of focusing on the discovery itself, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson explores the objects buried with the boy king to create a detailed portrait of ancient Egypt. One hundred artefacts, arranged in ten thematic groups, are presented as witnesses to the civilization that created them. Through these remarkable objects, Wilkinson sheds new light on the geography, history, culture, and legacy of ancient Egypt. Filled with surprising insights, unusual details, and vivid descriptions, Tutankhamun's Trumpet is a compelling read for anyone interested in history, archaeology, art, and culture. This book will appeal to those who want to learn more about the people and culture of ancient Egypt.
