Tutankhamun and the Puzzles of Ancient Egypt - Paperback

by Gareth Moore (Author)

"With trembling hands, I made a tiny breach in the upper left hand corner... widening the hole a little, I inserted the candle and peered in... at first I could see nothing... presently... details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold-everywhere the glint of gold."
Howard Carter

Lost to antiquity, the tomb of King Tutankhamun was rediscovered by Howard Carter in 1922. Its hidden location in the Valley of the Kings had protected it from plundering and inside lay a world of treasures.
