From the back cover: Betokening a reign so splendid that its wealth defies estimation, Tutankhamun’s treasures epitomize the immemorial grandeur of Egypt. The discovery of the fabulous contents of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 was a high point in archaeology & the most important find ever made in the Valley of the Kings. To celebrate the discovery’s 50th anniversary, the largest Tutankhamun exhibition ever to leave Egypt was held at the British Museum in 1972. Inspired by that exhibition, this volume recreates, in full color & in black & white, the tomb’s sumptuous legacy.
