Treasured How Tutankhamun Shaped a Century [#340694]

English | 2022 | ISBN: 1838950516 | 432 pages | True EPUB | 15.47 MB
A bold new history of the discovery of King Tut and the seismic impact it left on modern society.
When it was discovered in 1922, in an Egypt newly independent of the British Empire, the 3,300-year-old tomb of Tutankhamun sent shockwaves around the world. The boy-king became a household name overnight and kickstarted an international obsession that continues to this day. From pop culture and politics to tourism and the heritage industry, it's impossible to imagine the past century without the discovery of Tutankhamun - yet so much of the story remains untold.
InTreasured, Christina Riggs weaves compelling historical analysis with tales of lives touched, or changed forever, by an encounter with the boy-king. Who remembers that Jacqueline Kennedy first welcomed the young pharaoh to America? That a Tutankhamun revival in the 1960s helped save the ancient temples of Egyptian Nubia? Or that the British Museum's landmark Tutankhamun exhibition in 1972 remains its most successful ever? But not everything about 'King Tut' glitters: tours of his treasures in the 1970s were linked to Big Oil, his mummified remains have been exploited in the name of science, and accounts of his tomb's discovery exclude Egyptian archaeologists.
Treasuredoffers a bold new history of the young pharaoh who has as much to tell us about our world as his own.
