Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One hundred years after its discovery, this book revisits Tutankhamun's tomb with a view to reassess the circumstances in which it was excavated by Carter and to estimate how it has impacted both scientific and popular representations of Egypt at large. In short, this book examines the find of Tutankhamun as a multidimension cultural phenomenon involving aspects concerning the historical circumstances of the find, how it was studied over the years, how it impacted our knowledge on Tutankhamun's reign and our own perception of Egyptian civilization. The studies are presented along four sections, addressing different, yet complementary aspects of Tutankhamun's 'phenomenon'. The first section addresses the historical circumstances of the find with updated research resulting from the critical examination of different types of archival sources. These studies contradict long standing biased views on this process and systematize the archaeological and conservation paradigms involved in the discovery. Section 2 revolves around categories of objects that have been almost completely overlooked by Egyptological studies, providing a fresh input and new insights not only on the material culture of Ancient Egypt, but also on the circumstances of the find itself. Section 3 examines the impact of Tutankhamun's tomb on media, literature, and design and how it shaped contemporary representations of Egypt, as well as the phenomenon of 'Tut-mania' in popular culture. The fourth section addresses the reign of Tutankhamun itself. Different types of documentary sources univocally suggest the importance of this reign in shaping the cultural landscape of Egypt throughout the Ramesside period which clearly challenges the longstanding view of this reign as a minor and insignificant episode of Egyptian history. These studies show the many lacunae that still prevent us from understanding the historical processes involved before and after Tutankhamun's reign. AUTHORS: Rogerio Sousa is Main Researcher at the University of Porto. He completed his PhD in 2006 at the same university. His main research interests are the anthropoid coffin decoration in ancient Egypt and the Hellenization of the Egyptian cults in ancient Alex Member of the Direction board of the CIPEG. Curator at the Reiss-Engelhorn Museen. Director of the CIPEG.

Paperback. Condition: New. The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 stands out as one of the most important finds of modern archaeology, revealing an enormous wealth of objects encapsulating techniques, vestiges of uses and re-uses of materials, as well as unrivalled clues regarding the complex set of beliefs associated with the pharaonic funerary material culture. Once cleared from the tomb, these objects have captivated the world with their irresistible charm and beauty ending up playing a role in contemporary popular culture. However, it seems that such magnetism rather hindered than facilitated the scholarly study of the find. One hundred years after the discovery of this magnificent tomb, most of its objects remain insufficiently studied to this day. This volume aims to show how it remains challenging to study Tutankhamun's objects, gathering a collection of studies authored by leading scholars on conservation, materials, funerary beliefs as well as the reception of motifs and the impact of the discovery. Through these studies it becomes clear how ancient objects can help us reconstruct the complex fabric of the ancient Egyptian society and how they keep interacting with modern audiences.
