This Jackdaw traces the story of the excavation, illustrating Carter's work as an archaeologist and the enormous public interest in the discovery of the tomb. Through pictures, drawings, and a model, it shows the treasures buried with the young pharaoh, and the fabulous golden shrine and coffins in which the mummy of tutankhamun lay in its blackened bandages. A wealth of contemporary illustrations bring to life the ancient world in which the mysterious young pharaoh lived and died. (17 items, including a study guide).
