Title: The Complete Tutankhamun: The King, the Tomb, the Royal Treasure by C. N. Reeves, Nicholas Reeves, Richard H. Wilkinson ISBN: 0-500-27810-5 Publisher: Thames & Hudson Pub. Date: January, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 (10 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: The tomb and its "treasures" are the real focus.
Comment: If you want a multitude of pictures and a fair discussion of the tomb's discovery and the objects found in it, then this is an excellent book. We used this in a grad/undergrad level seminar I took back at Columbia University because it is so detailed on the tomb and its discovery. However, when it comes to information about Tutankhanum himself there are only 20 pages that look at his life and the historical context of his life, most of that is spent on his family and the dynasty he is part of. 20 pages out of 200+?! This is why I'm giving this book only 4 stars -- the cover and the summary offered by the book itself suggests the book has three parts and this first one is barely there.

Summary: The Complete Tutankhamun......THE BEST
Comment: This it is the best book than I have seen related young king Tutankhamon, with an exquisite and impeccable design, besides to have an excellent bibliographical quality. My English is very basic, for that reason I cannot continue describing to this book jewel

Summary: Wonderful Things
Comment: This was Howard Carter's initial description of the newly unearthed tomb of Tutenkhamen, and having read "The Complete Tutenkhamen" I'm inclined to make the same observation. For the first few hours the text of this book will be impossible to read, because the pictures are so arresting. My personal favorite is something that looks like a painted statute but, we are told, was a domestic a clothes-horse: if so, it's possibly the most beautiful mannequin ever designed. Virtually the entire inventory of Tut's tomb is dissected, with separate chapters devoted to each antechamber. We are treated, as well, to an account of Howard Carter's (and Lord Caernavon's) legendary pursuits, and explosion of the "Tut's Curse" canard. A great mix of good history and real eye candy.
