Christine El Mahdy has spent her career as an Egyptologist studying historical facts.Using recently discovered archaelogical evidence,she can now tell the real story of Tutankhamen's life.
Three and a half thousand years ago a little boy of seven years old was crowned Pharaoh. Nine years later he was dead.After a surreptitious and hasty burial,he lay in peace until robbers broke into his tomb. Fortunately they were caught and the tomb was resealed.In 1922,Howard Carter reopened the tomb revealing the contents of extraordinary treasures and since then its contents has provoked questions about what kind of civilisation could afford to place the body of a young boy in a solid gold coffin and then forget about it?
Using only archaeological evidence,Christine El Mahdy tells the thrilling story of passion and power that was Tutankhamen's life and death.
