TUTANKHAMUN by Joyce Tyldesley

TUTANKHAMUN by Joyce Tyldesley

A hundred years after Tutankhamun's tomb was rediscovered, leading Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley shares ten unique perspectives on the pharaoh's life, death and enduring legacy.

Tyldesley pieces together as clear a picture as possible of the pharaoh's life, death and afterlife, using expert insight and a wealth of evidence to illuminate a compelling character and his universe * Book of the Month, BBC History Revealed *
[A] spirited and interesting account that sifts through the surviving evidence and seeks to combat the widely held belief that Tutankhamun was an insignificant king * Minerva *
Highly readable . . . the importance of discovering the truth - rather than the myths, rumours and scandals of the past century - comes to the fore. * Mail on Sunday *

[An] authoritative history . . . A thoughtful new account of Tutankhamun's life and afterlife.

* The Times *
