The Treasures of Tutankhamun Summary

The Treasures of Tutankhamun by Jaromir Malek

Explaining Tutankhamun's background and the role of the Pharaoh, The Treasures of Tutankhamun shows how Egypt became a source of fascination for those in the West. Using photographs, drawings and diagrams from the original expedition, it brings to life the excitement and wonderment that Carter and Carnarvon must have felt upon opening the tomb. It also describes the painstaking efforts that were taken as they and their team slowly investigated the wealth of objects that had lain hidden for centuries. It also addresses its impact on the study of Egyptology and the more far-reaching effects it has had.
