Więcej o książce
In 2008, the mysterious boy king Tutankhamun returns to the U.S., bringing rare treasures previously unseen outside Egypt. This book serves as a delightful keepsake for millions eager to explore this magnificent exhibition. Crafted by renowned art historians under the guidance of Zahi Hawass, director of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, it surveys 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian history, focusing on the lives of great pharaohs. Master photographer Sandro Vannini captures each dazzling artifact with an innovative technique that brings images to life. The design mirrors the exhibition, grouping objects that represent family life, religious practices, funerary rituals, and gold. Each artifact—from a queen’s eye makeup container to a sarcophagus for a prince’s cat—offers a glimpse into the exotic yet relatable life of ancient Egyptians. Gold shines in a leopard-mask of gilded wood, a brilliant pendant featuring tiny goddesses, and the golden finger and toe covers of Tutankhamun, designed to protect him in the afterlife. With over 120 treasures, evocative landscape and archaeology photos, and illuminating text, this book encapsulates the excitement, riches, and mysteries of ancient Egypt, appealing to visitors of the exhibition and Tut enthusiasts nationwide.
