Tutankhamun tourWhen British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered the remarkably preserved tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, he created a worldwide sensation. The only tomb of its era found intact and full of indescribable treasures, it was also the first major discovery in the age of easy worldwide communication. That, along with rumors of a mysterious curse, helped make Tutankhamun the most popular of the Egyptian pharaohs in the modern world.

But what was Tutankhamun’s world really like? Who were the men who helped this boy king run an empire? Crowned at the tender age of ten, how did this child train for his roles as head of the state, church, and military? And what led to his death before his twentieth birthday?

Learn the answers to these questions and more as you read “The Story of King Tut” and view the marvelous objects that give us a picture of his life.”
