Inside the Tomb of Tutankhamun approaches its subject from two angles. Firstly it explores the world of Ancient Egypt & the politics surrounding the rule of the boy Pharaoh, Tutankhamun. Secondly, it looks at the pioneering work of Howard Carter & Lord Carnarvon in the 1920s, & the fascination as the world looked on in awe at their discoveries. The book not only provides an invaluable introduction to a particularly turbulent period of Egyptian history, but also seeks to answer questions about what happened to the Tomb in the years following Tutankhamun's burial. The book features cutaway diagrams, picture-strips of the lives of Tutankhamun & Carter, illustrations of Ancient Egyptian life, maps & impressive photographs taken during the excavation & after wards. Informative captions, a complete glossary, time lines & an index make this title an ideal educational text. Fits into the guidelines for Key Stage 2 History
