520 1 $aThe fabulous treasures of Tutankhamun have fascinated the public since their discovery by Howard Carter in 1922. Many books have been written about the boy king and his tomb, but this volume by the author, world-renowned Egyptologist provides the reader with a unique perspective on this extraordinary archaeological find, the most exciting the world has ever known. Images offer distinctive views, never seen before, of almost 200 of the spectacular artifacts found at the burial site. This work uses carefully selected objects to illustrate the entire ten years of painstaking excavation and documentation carried out by Howard Carter and his team. Organized to follow the chambers of the tomb in the order in which they were excavated, it illuminates the site's most magnificent artifacts, including all of the objects in both current traveling Tutankhamun exhibitions. An experienced field archaeologist who has made many important discoveries himself, the author imbues the text with his own unique voice, imagining how the exploration of the tomb must have felt for Carter and providing invaluable information about the objects themselves. The photography adds an extra dimension to this volume, showing the objects from the tomb as they have never been seen before, in stunning full-color spreads and foldouts throughout the book. -- From book jacket.
