The tomb of Tutankhamun, with its breathtaking treasures, remains the
most sensational archaeological find of all time. This brilliantly
illustrated volume takes the reader through Tutankhamun's tomb
room-by-room in the order that it was discovered and excavated by Howard
Carter, illuminating the tomb's most magnificent artifacts and objects.
Leading authority Dr. Zahi Hawass imbues the text with his own
inimitable flavor, imagining how the uncovering and opening of the tomb
must have felt for Carter, while Sandro Vannini's extraordinary
photographs reproduce the objects in infinitesimal detail. Now available
in a compact edition, and published to coincide with a global touring
exhibition that begins in Los Angeles in March 2018 and ends at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2023, this sumptuous volume is
the definitive record of Tutankhamun's legacy.
