Not your average book of Tutankhamun

I admit, King Tut has been done to death. So many books out there exist soley about him and the discovery of his tomb. Even me, being a passionate afficianado of Egyptology, have to admit that when I recieved this book, I though it would be just another book on King Tut.
But it isn't.
This book is a marvelous analysis of the life and times of Tutankhamun, the heretic Akhenaten, and the tumultous Amarna period, which has fascinated and astounded historians for centuries. This book is a beautiful exhibition guide to an unearthly exhibit. If you have seen the exhibit, it's a perfect way to relive the wonderful experience again and again. If you have not, the book, with its earthy, gorgeous, full color photograhps, captures the feel of the exhibit spectacularly. With hundreds of gorgeous and new photos by Kenneth Garret, and clear, concise, and fascinating text by the brilliant Zahi Hawass, this book is another triumph by National Geographic.

Tutankhamum

We saw the exhibition in Ft. Launderdale. What a wonderful companion with cherished memories from an exhibition that was a once in a lifetime experience for my family. The book guides you through the history of Tutankhamum to the present day find of his tomb. If you are not fortunate to see the exhibition, this is the book for you.

Excellent book, but don't purchase it at the Tut gift shop

This is a beautiful book and excellent catalog of the items in the King Tut exhibit. I recently saw the exhibit at the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art and the book was $49. If you are going to one of the later dates, be sure to buy the book online rather than in the gift shop.

Nice Photos

Information was pretty good and the photos were clear. I wanted the book to go with the museum tour of King Tut. The book filled in many blanks and it was nice to see the artifacts again. The book at the museum was $50 and it was much cheaper online. The only difference was the museum book included a dvd which I could do without, especially for the difference in price.

Amazing book

This book is an exquisitely done companion book to the exhibit. Every piece from the exhibit is highlighted in the book, with an appropriate discription and background. If you enjoy Ancient Egypt, get this book, whether you have the chance to see the exhibit or not. It's a great companion to the exhibit if you can see it, but a great substitute if you can't.
