Tutankhamun has fascinated the world ever since Howard Carter's spectacular discovery of his treasure-filled tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. Egypt's leading Egyptologist, Zahi Hawass, here tells the story of this golden king, a short-lived pharaoh who came to the throne of Egypt as a child and died before the age of twenty, and of the royal dynasty that bred him. The reader will meet Tutankhamun's grandparents, the Sun King, Amenhotep III and his beautiful wife Tiye, as well as the boy-king's 'heretic' father, Akhenaten, his stepmother Nefertiti, and his half-sisters, the sun-kissed princesses of Amarna. Tutankhamun lived and died during one of the most fascinating periods in Egyptian history; this book will provide a window into this extraordinary time of turmoil and treasure. The book is beautifully illustrated, primarily with photographs of objects from a new traveling exhibit that is taking pieces from Cairo's Egyptian Museum collections to Switzerland, Germany, and the United States.
