The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 ignited global fascination and sparked a phenomenon known as "Tut-mania." While Howard Carter unearthed its treasures, Tutankhamun's reign and modern rediscovery captivated the world. However, who was this enigmatic "boy king," and what was his life truly like? Garry J. Shaw unravels the full story of Tutankhamun's reign and modern rediscovery in his captivating biography. As the pharaoh, Tutankhamun faced the daunting task of managing an empire, navigating influential courtiers, and enduring the loss of at least two children before reaching his nineteenth birthday. Shaw delves into the treasures and possessions of Tutankhamun, exploring a wide range of artifacts, from a lock of his grandmother's hair to a reed cut with his own hands. He also examines the role of Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun's wife, as well as the power held by queens in ancient Egyptian society. This comprehensive biography seamlessly weaves together intriguing details about ancient Egyptian culture, beliefs, and their place in the broader world, making it a must-read for anyone interested in this remarkable period of history.
