ombraluce 's review for:
With his impressive funerary mask, the pharaoh Tutankhamun is a well-known image, almost a pop star. On the other hand, due to a series of fortunate circumstances described in the book, his was the tomb in the best preserved condition ever found by archaeologists. Using the most recent interpretations of the artefacts found inside, Schaw brilliantly describes the events that brought the very young pharaoh to the throne, his life, his achievements, his reforms, and his early death. Equally vividly described are the subsequent events, which led him to be forgotten, and the discovery of the tomb. This is an easy-to-read but truly exciting book for those who simply want to know more details about the boy pharaoh, but which, thanks to the extensive notes and rich biography, becomes a useful working tool for Egyptology enthusiasts.
