In 1922, an archaeologist named Howard Carter discovered the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. The result was a worldwide frenzy over "King Tut," and later an endless stream of excitement about supposed curses of the mummies. Eighty years later, still very little is known about Tutankhamun, but a lot is known about the exciting story that led to his exhumation. The discovery of King Tut’s Tomb was an amazing and dramatic event in the history of archeology. This book tells the story of Howard Carter’s career, beginning with his youthful excitement about ancient Egypt and continuing on through the moment when he finally opened the solid-gold coffin and saw the amazing golden mask of Egypt’s "boy king" pharaoh.

Although this book stands on its own, readers will enjoy it more if they read Kings of the Nile: Gods and Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt first.
