Description
Publisher's Description of Jackdaw Tutankhamun & the Discovery of the Tomb

This Jackdaw traces the story of the excavation, illustrating Howard Carter's work as an archaeologist and the enormous public interest in the discovery of the tomb. Through pictures both full-color and black and white drawings, and a hands-on model, it shows the treasures buried with the young pharaoh, and the fabulous golden shrine and coffins in which the mummy of Tutankhamun lay in its blackened bandages. A wealth of contemporary illustrations brings to life the ancient world in which the mysterious young pharaoh lived and died.

Historian: Magnus Magnusson.
