Description
|
|
|
|
Egypt's most famous king died at the age of 18, and in the 3,000 years since his death, the treasure buried with the young ruler has become as famous as his name. It has long been assumed that Tutankhamun died of natural causes, yet his hurried burial, first in a virtually unmarked grave, suggests there may have been an attempt or even a plot to conceal the evidence of fatal head wounds. Coupling modern research with the original testimony of Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb, Paul Doherty uncovers a turbulent tale of bloody intrigues at the Egyptian court, most of them pointing to the possibility of murder.
