What is The legend of Tutankhamun about?

More than 3,000 years ago, Tutankhamun became king of ancient Egypt while still a boy. His short life, mysterious death and richly decorated tomb have fascinated people ever since. This illustrated history follows Tutankhamun’s reign, the loss of his tomb beneath the desert sands and its dramatic discovery by Howard Carter in 1922. It also explores the treasures and artefacts that reveal more about the young pharaoh, his world and the civilisation he ruled.
