Summary:
When it was discovered in 1922, the 3,300-year-old tomb of Tutankhamun sent shockwaves around the world; the boy king became a household name and kickstarted an international obsession that continues to this day. Riggs weaves historical analysis with tales of lives touched. But not everything glitters: tours of King Tut's treasures in the 1970s were linked to Big Oil; his mummified remains have been exploited in the name of science, and accounts of his tomb's discovery exclude Egyptian archaeologists. -- adapted from jacket
