Author Description

Product Description Elevated to the throne of Egypt at the age of nine, Tutankhamun's greatest legacy would come not in his lifetime of ruling but centuries after his death. In 1922, Tutankhamun's royal tomb was opened in the heart of the Valley of the Kings. It was the only royal tomb that had been spared plunder and decay, and it held a wealth of sacred objects and dazzling treasures. This folio-sized book contains stunning photographs that showcase these fabulous artifacts as well as historical paintings and documents of the excavation process. About the Author Aude Gros de Beler has done extensive archeological research in Egypt and is the author of Pharaohs, Egyptian Mythology, The Nile, and Travel in the Old Egypt.
