Three years on from this review I thought I would edit it as it now strongly seems that it is not the "complete" Tutankhamun. For the general reader, this book is still the standard and will probably remain so for some time. There are some wonderful books that are essentially eye candy about the treaures, and my book shelves groan loudly at the huge weight of some of them, yet they do not tell the story in any great depth. I bought this book when it was first published and still return to it, as it really does tell the complete story, or as much as we are likely to ever know. ![]() ![]() 20 years after first publication, only the recent CT scans and DNA testing have moved the story on, though this does not really effect this book in any great way for general readers.
