About this title

Synopsis

Since the discovery of Tutankhamun's magnificent tomb at Thebes by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in 1922, the young Pharaoh has captured the public imagination. The boy-king came to the throne aged 12 during one of Egypt's most turbulent periods. He should have lived out a prosperous reign but died mysteriously just 6 years after his accession.
