The Forgotten Pharaoh, Tutankhamun: The Astonishing Account of the Greatest Archaeological Discovery of All Time.

Bitter poverty and indescribable wealth, hatred, envy and intrigue, the mysterious death of a playboy and a political assassination, these are all aspects of the greatest archaeological discovery of all time: the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. On November 4, 1922, the Englishman Howard Carter stumbled upon the entrance to the tomb of Tutankhamun, a pharaoh who had been forgotten for 3,000 years. The forgotten pharaoh became the personification of Egyptian history, his golden death mask weighing more than a hundred kilos the most famous work of art in the world.
The Forgotten Pharaoh is the impressive background account of an undertaking that has been called the most exciting and romantic period of archaeology. An almost unbelievable story that Vandenberg has dug up from dusty archives in Cairo and Oxford and has researched among the last living eyewitnesses.
