Three thousand years ago, Tutankhamen died mysteriously at the age of nineteen. Hastily, a commoner's tomb was readied for his burial, his body mummified, fabulous jewels and furniture gathered, the tomb sealed. Then silence. In the years that followed, almost every trace of the young king and his wife was literally erased. In 1922, the small tomb was uncovered; inside lay the most glorious royal Egyptian treasures ever unearthed, and Tutankhamen's place in history was restored. Bob Brier, a leading Egyptologist, uncovers what really happened to Tutankhamen and uses new forensic evidence to show that Tutankhamen was brutally murdered. 15. Near Fine/Fine.
