EIU or Educational, Interesting, Useful

I had a project on Ancient Egypt. We were supose to choose a topic and write about it. I choose King Tut. I borrowed this book at a library and found it so interesting i bought it. I got all of the information i needed in this book and as a good result a got an A+ on my project. And all I have to thank is this one book.

detailed, useful and complete

Ever since King Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, the legacy of the boy-king has fascinated the world. This fascinating book provides much information about this boy, who reigned over Egypt for a short period of time. The author describes the search and the discovery of the tomb, the archaeology of the tomb and the treasures it contained. The book includes extracts from Carter's notes and diaries, as well as first-time publication of his drawings and reconstructions. Offering both color and black-and-white illustrations, this is a most excellent useful reference for everyone.

The Complete Tutankhamen

I found this book to be one of the best amongst the many books I own on Egyptology. The book is richly illustrated and leaves the reader in awe as to the immensity and grandeur of King Tut's dynasty. I often refer to this particular book when doing research on him. Although I have had this book for some years now (1995 - Soft cover) and many more on the same king have been subsequently published, The Complete Tutankhamen still ranks as my favourite source of reference. The authors have spared no effort in bringing the mystery of King Tut into the homes and lives of the average layman. I am waiting in anticipation for more revelations on this mysterious Age of Kings.

The Complete Tutankhamun......THE BEST

This it is the best book than I have seen related young king Tutankhamon, with an exquisite and impeccable design, besides to have an excellent bibliographical quality. My English is very basic, for that reason I cannot continue describing to this book jewel

Wonderful Things

This was Howard Carter's initial description of the newly unearthed tomb of Tutenkhamen, and having read "The Complete Tutenkhamen" I'm inclined to make the same observation. For the first few hours the text of this book will be impossible to read, because the pictures are so arresting. My personal favorite is something that looks like a painted statute but, we are told, was a domestic a clothes-horse: if so, it's possibly the most beautiful mannequin ever designed. Virtually the entire inventory of Tut's tomb is dissected, with separate chapters devoted to each antechamber. We are treated, as well, to an account of Howard Carter's (and Lord Caernavon's) legendary pursuits, and explosion of the "Tut's Curse" canard. A great mix of good history and real eye candy.
