The greatest archeological discovery of all time was made on November 27, 1922 when a team of British scientists unearthed the tomb of the pharaoh, Tutankhamun. Within, they found an incredible array of jewels, artworks, furniture, and artifacts that had lain undisturbed since antiquity.
Here is the story of the boy-king who was found encased in a golden sarcophagus along with details of the magnificent treasures surrounding him that were meant to provide ease and comfort in the afterlife.
This story of the tomb discovery is placed in historical context by features on: -- Tutankhamun and his place in the XVIII Dynasty -- Carter and Carnarvon discover the intact sepulcher -- Descriptions of carriages, chariots, and thrones -- Tomb jewels, scepters, and divine statues -- The sarcophagus, coffins and the royal mummy
All of these and more are shown through stunning full-color photography accompanied by a lively text filled with vivid descriptions and insights. The heritage of ancient Egypt, its treasures and its civilization, is conveyed through the story of this royal boy who transmits his message of eternity from the kingdom of the dead.

The word Pharaoh originally meant "the great house" or "palace of the King." Gradually it came to represent the king himself. This full-color, illustrated history of the Pharaoh explores three thousand years of ancient Egyptian civilization, including information about their gods and religious rituals; their tombs, temples, and treasures; the role of the Pharaohs and their palaces; and the importance of the river Nile. Detailed maps spotlight ancient religious sites and modern cities, and an examination of hieroglyphics provides a complete chronology of the Book of the Dead.

For the ancient cultures that lived by its shores, the Nile was a god that was worshipped.

Elevated to the throne of Egypt at the age of nine, Tutankhamun's greatest legacy would come not in his lifetime of ruling but centuries after his death. In 1922, Tutankhamun's royal tomb was opened in the heart of the Valley of the Kings. It was the only royal tomb that had been spared plunder and decay, and it held a wealth of sacred objects and dazzling treasures. This folio-sized book contains stunning photographs that showcase these fabulous artifacts as well as historical paintings and documents of the excavation process.
