Synopsis

He was crowned King of Egypt at about age nine and died abruptly - and mysteriously - at around age 18. In this comprehensive new volume, famed archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass scrutinizes the artifacts found in King Tut's tomb 3,500 years after his death, then recreates his life and times in a fresh and compelling style. The book includes late-breaking results of a never-before-performed CAT scan of the young monarch's mummy. Featuring more than 60 breathtaking photographs and illustrations, the book teaches children about the prominent people in Kin Tut's life, his proficiency in sports, his religion, his empire, and of course his tomb and the mystery surrounding his early death.
