This book explores Tutankhamun's background and the Pharaoh's role, highlighting Egypt's allure for the West. It features photographs, drawings, and diagrams from the original expedition to evoke the excitement and wonder experienced by Carter and Carnarvon when discovering the tomb.

Explaining Tutankhamun's background and the role of the Pharaoh, this book shows how Egypt became a source of fascination for those in the West. It aims to bring to life the excitement and wonderment that Carter and Carnarvon must have felt upon opening the tomb.

Tato kniha pojednává zcela novým způsobem o starém tématu - starověkém Egyptě. Dosud nikdy nebylo toto téma představeno formou kulturního atlasu, jenž přináší nejen mnoho historických a topografických map, ale také erudovaný text, ve kterém se dvěma významným egyptologům podařilo obsáhnout kulturu - chápanou v širokém smyslu - této staré civilizace.
