La maldición de Tutankamón
la historia de un rey egipcio
Tyldesley, Joyce
In November 1922, more than a century after the location of the first tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and after years of study, planning and scrutiny of the site, Howard Carter starred in what remains to this day the most important of all time: the tomb of Tutankhamun. What caused its relevance? Of the more than sixty tombs found, this was the only one that remained intact. Full of treasures, clothes, vessels, mummies and religious symbols, it allowed to reconstruct life in ancient Egypt and shed light on the research that Egyptologists had been carrying out for decades. A milestone that would be the germ of the fascination that mummies and their supposed curses still arouse in the West today. With a narrative skill not without irony, Tyldesley takes advantage of the discovery and the life of Tutankhamun to examine how we approach ancient civilizations.
