Tutankhamun and the Valley of the Kings explores the extraordinary world of Egypt's most famous pharaoh. From the religious upheaval left by Akhenaten to the restoration of Amun, the book follows the boy king's brief reign, the powerful advisers who shaped his court, and the succession struggle that transformed Egypt after his death.

It also journeys deep into the Valley of the Kings, revealing the rituals, magic, treasures, and beliefs that prepared a pharaoh for eternal life. Finally, it recounts Howard Carter's dramatic discovery of KV62 and explains how a nearly forgotten young king became an enduring global icon.
