Readers learn about ancient Egypt through the lens of the life, death, entombment, and archaeological discovery of the famous Egyptian pharaoh. While the book provides a wealth of information and historical background, Tutankhamun-specific discussion only appears midway through. A multitude of pictures, text boxes, and sidebars make the pages feel cluttered but are nonetheless valuable for bringing the history to life.
