Omschrijving

Howard Carter And The Search For Tutankhamun

On November 4th 1922, Howard Carter finally discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, following years of relentless work, which had been financed by Carter's benefactor, Lord Carnarvon.

The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb would become the single greatest archaeological find of all time and, almost overnight, King Tut became a household name.

What topics does this book cover?

The book begins with a look at the early life and career of Howard Carter, before discussing his relationship with Lord Carnarvon and the commissioned work excavating in the Valley of the Kings.

The discovery of the tomb is then reported on in detail, with a presentation on the findings from the four rooms of the tomb: the Antechamber, the Annexe, the Burial Chamber and the Treasury.

Ancient History: The Life and Death of Tutankhamun

The focus of the course then shifts to Ancient Egypt and Tutankhamen himself, with a look at his family heritage, the politics during his reign and his mysterious death.

Finally, the legacy of Tutankhamun is considered, including information about the media frenzy over King Tut during the twenties, the infamous curse of Tutankhamun and a revival in interest in recent years.

Interesting Did You Know? snippets of information feature throughout the book, and there are questions and answers at the end of each section to test the reader's knowledge of the subject.

Who is This Book Aimed At?

This is one of those Ancient Egypt books for adults and kids alike. It is partly a Howard Carter biography and partly about who was King Tut, and while accessible and interesting for children, it is detailed enough for older students and history buffs as well.
