Nearly 100 years ago, English archaeologist Howard Carter and a team of dedicated Egyptologists and excavators discovered the well-preserved tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. The discovery surpassed the boundaries of archaeology and fired the imagination of people all over the world, profoundly influencing high, as well as popular culture and made millions of people aware of ancient Egyptian civilisation. The Book of Tutankhamun will delve into the life, rule and influence of Ancient Egypt’s most famous king, including how this advanced society functioned over 3000 years ago. It will also follow the journey of the team who researched Egyptian history, travelled through the vast valleys, dug through the desert sand and eventually unearthed the sacred tomb. Finally, it will list the trinkets, mementos and royal property found in the antechamber and annex, detail the recording and safeguarding process of these precious treasures and explore how the tomb’s discovery remains significant to this day.
