Book description
Howard Carter peered into the semi-darkness. The few seconds seemed an age to his companion. "Can you see anything?" asked Lord Carnarvon. Carter’s voice quivered with excitement. "Yes," he said. "I see wonderful things."
Tutankhamun the boy king died as a teenager and was buried in the midst of incredible treasures. This is the story of his life. It is also the story of Tutankhamun’s Egypt. Here in the most vivid detail is how it really felt to live in the cities, towns and countryside of ancient Egypt.
The author, Otto Neubert, is a traveller and scholar who was one of the first to visit the Tomb when it was discovered fifty years ago. His bestselling book has been translated from the original German into sixteen languages.
